Arjuna continues his rhetorical questioning, addressing Kṛṣṇa as ‘Govinda’, the one who gives pleasure to the senses. He asks what use a kingdom, enjoyments, or even life itself is if those for whom they are desired are to be killed on the battlefield. This verse highlights the concept of the ‘extended ego’. People often work not just for themselves but for their circle of loved ones. If that circle is removed, the motivation to act dissolves. Arjuna feels that winning the kingdom would be meaningless if he has no one to share it with. He is looking at the war through the lens of personal gratification. His logic is: if the enjoyers are dead, why should I care about the objects of enjoyment? He fails to see that his duty to the world transcends his personal desire to celebrate with his family.
