become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.
पारंपरिक परिचय
Arjuna was addressed as the “son of Pṛthā,” who happened to be the sister of Kṛṣṇa’s father Vasudeva. Therefore Arjuna had a blood relationship with Kṛṣṇa. If the son of a  kṣatriya  declines to fight, he is a  kṣatriya  in name only, and if the son of a  brāhmaṇa  acts impiously, he is a  brāhmaṇa  in name only. Such  kṣatriyas  and  brāhmaṇas  are unworthy sons of their fathers; therefore, Kṛṣṇa did not want Arjuna to become an unworthy son of a  kṣatriya . Arjuna was the most intimate friend of Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa was directly guiding him on the chariot; but in spite of all these credits, if Arjuna abandoned the battle, he would be committing an infamous act; therefore Kṛṣṇa said that such an attitude in Arjuna did not fit his personality. Arjuna might argue that he would give up the battle on the grounds of his magnanimous attitude for the most respectable Bhīṣma and his relatives, but Kṛṣṇa considered that sort of magnanimity not approved by authority. Therefore, such magnanimity or so-called non-violence should be given up by persons like Arjuna under the direct guidance of Kṛṣṇa.
