यदि मामप्रतीकारमशस्त्रं शस्त्रपाणयः । धार्तराष्ट्रा रणे हन्युस्तन्मे क्षेमतरं भवेत्॥६-२३-४६॥

If the Dhārtarāṣṭras, weapons in hand, were to slay me in battle while I remain unresisting and unarmed, that would be safer for me—more in accord with dharma.

english translation

एवमुक्त्वार्जुनः संख्ये रथोपस्थ उपाविशत् । विसृज्य सशरं चापं शोकसंविग्नमानसः॥६-२३-४७॥

Having spoken thus, Arjuna sat down upon the seat of the chariot in the midst of the battle, letting fall his bow together with the arrows, his mind shaken and distressed by grief.
