Arjuna is reluctant to slay his own fellowmen for the sake of kingdom.
Verse 35: "etan na hantum icchami ghnato 'pi madhusudana api trailokya-rajyasya hetoh kim nu mahi-krte " (35)O Krishna! Though they might slay me, I will not kill them even for the sake of a kingdom extending over the three worlds, leave alone this earth! Explanation: Arjuna addresses Lord Krishna. He tells him that he cannot slay this own cousins, though they may be ready to kill him. Even if the reward were the three worlds he would not slay them. Arjuna feels that fighting with his own cousins in battlefield over a kingdom would be a disaster. Verse 36: Verse 37: Arjuna speaks out his mind to the Lord. He tries to explain his reluctance to fight his own kinsmen, though he has been wronged.
