Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 1: Arjuna's Despair
Bhagavad Gita 1.27
श्वशुरान्सुहृदश्चैव सेनयोरुभयोरपि ।
तान्समीक्ष्य स कौन्तेयः सर्वान्बन्धूनवस्थितान् ॥
śvaśurānsuhṛdaścaiva senayorubhayorapi | tānsamīkṣya sa kaunteyaḥ sarvānbandhūnavasthitān ||
fathers-in-law and well-wishers too, in both armies. Seeing all these relatives standing arrayed, the son of Kunti
Modern context
'In both armies': the people Arjuna loves are on his own side as well, and they too will die. There is no outcome in which he loses no one. Some choices offer no clean option, and the first honest step is to admit that.
