"Even though the arrogant Kauravas' are eager to battle, we must not get carried away. How can we kill our own kin? How can we ever be happy by doing such a deed? Will it not be similar to consuming the deadly poison Kalkut knowing it is going to kill us? While travelling if one comes across a lion, is it not prudent to avoid the confrontation? What is the use of leaving the light and entering the darkness? Seeing a raging fire before us if we do not get away in time, nothing can save us from turning into ashes. With these things hitting hard it is very difficult to get ready for the battle said Arjun to his beloved Lord Krishna. Let me now tell you the awfulness of this sin."

जैसें काष्ठ मथिजे I तेथ वन्हि एक उपजे I तेणें काष्ठजात जाळिजे I प्रज्वळलेनि II 243 II

म्हणऊनि एणें पापें I वंशजधर्मु लोपे I मग अधर्मचि आरोपे I कुळामाजी II 245 II

"When two pieces of wood are rubbed together, the friction ignites fire that consumes all wood. Similarly when family members of the same lineage fight with each other, their conflict ultimately results into complete annihilation of their family relationships. And therefore we must avoid this confrontation before it is too late."

तेथ सारासार न विचारावें I कवणें काय आचरावें I आणि विधिनिषेध आघवे I पारुषती II 246 II
असता दीपु दवडिजे I मग अंधकारीं राहाटिजे I तरी उजूचि आडळिजे I जयापरी II 247 II
तैसा कुळीं कुळक्षयो होये I तये वेळीं तो आद्यधर्मु जाये I मग आन कांहीं आहे I पापावांचुनि II 248 II
जैं यमनियम ठाकती I तेथ इंद्रियें सैरा राहाटती I म्हणऊनि व्यभिचार घडती I कुळस्त्रियांसी II 249 II
उत्तम अधर्मी संचरती I ऐसे वर्णावर्ण मिसळती I तेथ समूळ उपडती I जातिधर्म II 250 II
जैसीं चोहटांचिये बळी I पाविजे सैरा काउळीं I तैसीं महापापें कुळीं I प्रवेशती II 251 II

"Arjun continued, with larger familial community falling apart, the dialogue between the family members ceases. As the bond and connection that love provides is crucial for maintaining a healthy family unit; when that love fades or is significantly diminished, it can lead to growing conflict, distance, and ultimately, the breakdown of the family structure. When this happens one loses the ability to differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad, and to make sound judgments based on ethical principles and moral values. It is like a trip and fall due to extinguishing the lamp in hand and walking in the dark. 
With the breaking of familial bonds, the senses go rampant corrupting even the noble women. The elders mixing with the young  uproots the very hierarchy necessary for healthy family relationships.
At the falling apart of a larger familial community, the wrongdoings go as rampant as the bevy of crows crowding over the food kept in open."

मग कुळा तया अशेखा I आणि कुळघातकां I येरयेरां नरका I जाणें आथी II 252 II
देखें वंशवृद्धी समस्त I यापरी होय पतित I मग वोवांडती स्वर्गस्थ I पूर्वपुरुष II 253 II
जेथ नित्यादि क्रिया ठाके I आणि नैमित्तिक क्रिया पारुखे I तेथ कवणा तिळोदकें I कवण अर्पी II 254 II
तरी पितर काय करिती I कैसेनि स्वर्गी वसती I म्हणोनि तेही येती I कुळापासीं II 255 II
जैसा नखाग्रीं व्याळु लागे I तो शिखांत व्यापी वेगें I तेंवीं आब्रम्ह कुळ आवघें I आप्लविजे II 256 II

"The larger familial community as well as the family members responsible for its debacle both go to hell. With this their forefathers in the heavenly abode too are pushed out and fall down. This is because when the familial bonds cease, the respect and remembrance for their departed forefathers also ceases. They too join others in the hell. Just like the snake bite at the tip of a nail reaches the head, the annihilation encompasses the larger familial community in entire."
