Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 7

Sanskrit:

ज्ञात्वा ज्ञातिवधं गर्ह्यमधर्मं राज्यहेतुकम् ।ततो निवृत्तो हन्ताहं हतोऽयमिति लौकिक: ॥ ७ ॥

ITRANS:

jñātvā jñāti-vadhaṁ garhyamadharmaṁ rājya-hetukamtato nivṛtto hantāhaṁhato ’yam iti laukikaḥ

Translation:

On the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra Arjuna thought that killing his relatives would be an abominable, irreligious activity, motivated only by his desire to acquire a kingdom. He therefore desisted from the battle, thinking, “I would be the killer of my relatives. They would be destroyed.” Thus Arjuna was afflicted with mundane consciousness.

Purport:

Lord Kṛṣṇa here explains to Uddhava the circumstances in which Śrī Arjuna posed his questions.
