यदि मामप्रतीकारमशस्त्रं शस्त्रपाणयः ।
धार्तराष्ट्रा रणे हन्युस्तन्मे क्षेमतरं भवेत् ।।

yadi mAmapratIkAramashastraM shastrapANayaH |
dhArtarAShTrA raNe hanyustanme kShemataraM bhavet ||
शस्त्रपाणयः - weapons wielding, धार्तराष्ट्रा - kauravas, अप्रतीकारम् - non-resistant, अशस्त्रं - without weapons, माम् - me, रणे - in battle, हन्यु: यदि - if they kill, तत् - that, मे - for me, क्षेमतरं - greater good, भवेत् - becomes
(Arjuna concludes his dialogue with Krishna..)

If weapon wielding kauravas kill me who is non-resistant & without weapons in battle, it becomes all the more good for me
Even if it means disrepute & damage to his stellar name (by avoiding his yuddha-karma), even if it means forsaking the great rAjya, even if it means not killing atatayis, even if it means getting himself killed in battle..

Arjuna is now quite clear he won't battle

अर्जुन उवाच

ज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन ।
तत्किं कर्मणि घोरे मां नियोजयसि केशव ।।
व्यामिश्रेणेव वाक्येन बुद्धिं मोहयसीव मे ।
तदेकं वद निश्िचत्य येन श्रेयोऽहमाप्नुयाम् ।।
jyāyasī cetkarmaṇaste matā buddhirjanārdana ।
tatkiṃ karmaṇi ghore māṃ niyojayasi keśava ।।

vyāmiśreṇeva vākyena buddhiṃ mohayasīva me।
tadekaṃ vada niśicatya yena śreyo'hamāpnuyām।।

There lived a brahmana by name Devasharma in the south. He lived an ideal life following his household duties (tretagni upasana, bhagavad aradhana, helping atithi etc..). He also performed many yajna-s with utmost shraddha
Even after leading an ideal life, his mind was at great unease. He was very disturbed & wanted a solution to it

He went to a nearby forest where tapasvi-s were meditating. He did all kind of sushrusha (service) to them & finally one managed to tell his problem to one of them
That rishi suggested him to meet a cow-herder by name Mitravan in a place called Punya near Godavari Banks.

Devasharma met him at a grazing land in Punya-nagari. His face was absolutely shining & radiating with great calm.
