English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
2.2 The Blessed Lord said  O Arjuna, in this perilous place, whence has come to you this impurity entertained by unenlightened persons, which does not lead to heaven and which brings infamy?


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
2.1 - 2.3 Sanjaya said - Lord said  When Arjuna thus sat, the Lord, opposing his action, said:  What is the reason for your misplaced grief?  Arise for battle, abandoning this grief, which has arisen in a critical situation, which can come only in men of wrong understanding, which is an obstacle for reaching heaven, which does not confer fame on you, which is very mean, and which is caused by faint-heartedness.
