यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः । कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम् ॥ ३८ ॥
yady apy ete na paśhyanti lobhopahata-chetasaḥ kula-kṣhaya-kṛitaṁ doṣhaṁ mitra-drohe cha pātakam
Translation
Even if these men, their minds overcome by greed, see no wrong in destroying the family and no sin in betraying friends,
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यद्यपि लोभ से भ्रष्ट चित्त वाले ये लोग कुल के नाश से होने वाले दोष को और मित्रों से द्रोह करने के पाप को नहीं देखते,
Commentary
Arjun concedes that the Kauravas are blinded by greed. The phrase "their minds overcome by greed" (lobhopahata-chetasaḥ) is sharp moral analysis — and it prepares his next point: we can see what they cannot, so the responsibility is ours.
