- All the commanders of the parties on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra were standing face to face, and Arjuna saw them with great compassion and lamented that he was to kill his kinsmen on the battlefield for the sake of the empire
- Arjuna has now (in BG 2.22) turned his face towards his eternal friend, Krsna, and is understanding the Bhagavad-gita from Him. And thus, hearing from Krsna, he can understand the supreme glories of the Lord and be free from lamentation. BG 1972 purports
- Arjuna is advised herewith (BG 2.22) by the Lord not to lament for the bodily change of his old grandfather and his teacher. BG 1972 purports
- Arjuna thought that his victory in the battle would only be a cause of lamentation for him
- Arjuna was a ksatriya, and this conduct was not expected from him (to lament unnecessarily like a sudra). Lord Krsna, however, can dissipate the lamentation of the ignorant man, and for this purpose the Bhagavad-gita was sung by Him. BG 1972 purports
- Arjuna was lamenting for the body, thinking that it was horrible that his relatives would be killed in war. This was not the proper subject matter for him to be contemplating
- Arjuna was lamentingly remembering the incident in the absence of the Lord, by whose strength only he was so powerful

- If material comforts could drive away one's lamentations for family, social, national or international inebrieties, then Arjuna would not have said that an unrivalled kingdom on earth would not be able to drive away his lamentations. BG 1972 purports
- If you (Arjuna) think that the soul (or the symptoms of life) is always born and dies forever, you still have no reason to lament, O mighty-armed
- In the First Canto we have already discussed the lamentation of Arjuna and Yudhisthira, to whom the disappearance of Lord Krsna was almost intolerable up to the end of their lives
- In the presence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Arjuna's lamentation for his kinsmen is certainly unbecoming, and therefore Krsna expressed His surprise with the word kutas - wherefrom. BG 1972 purports

- When He saw Arjuna that he was not willing to fight, then Krsna said - My dear Arjuna, you are lamenting for something which is not the subject matter of lamentation
- While observing the situation of his enemy, Arjuna stood up on the chariot, but he was so afflicted with lamentation that he sat down again, setting aside his bow and arrows. BG 1972 purports
