organs of my body are feeling lifeless; my mouth has become parched, my body quivers and hair is standing on its end.
The bow Gandiv is slipping from the hands and the skin is also burning, my mind is whirling around; therefore, I am unable to stand even.

On facing the kinsmen standing in front of him Arjun's mind became full of compassion. Compassion is a good quality. But this kind of compassion in case of Arjun is compassion enveloped by attachment. The real compassion gives rise to sense of satisfaction. Here instead of giving rise to satisfaction if it is leading to dejection, restlessness, nervousness, trembling, feeling of lifelessness, then it should be understood that these signs are not of compassion but of attachment due to delusion.
The same bow is falling from the hands of Arjun and that does not worry him. His skin is burning. Why? Because the mind is getting deluded and he says that with his body also he is unable to stand. Not only this he says 'Keshav all the omens are inauspicious'. Despite the fact that the inauspicious signs were for the unrighteous and not for him. But his vision was veiled by the curtain of delusion.
