Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 7

Arjuna said
कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसंमूढचेताः।यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥2.7॥

kārpaṇyadoṣopahatasvabhāvaḥ pṛcchāmi tvāṃ dharmasaṃmūḍhacetāḥyacchreyaḥ syānniścitaṃ brūhi tanme śiṣyaste'haṃ śādhi māṃ tvāṃ prapannam

Meaning

Arjuna says: my natural strength is overcome by a weak, clinging pity, and my mind is confused about dharma (right duty). Tell me clearly what is truly good for me. I am your student; I come to you for refuge; guide me.

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन कहते हैं: दया की कमज़ोरी ने मेरे स्वभाव को दबा दिया है और धर्म को लेकर मेरा मन उलझ गया है। मुझे साफ़-साफ़ बताइए कि मेरे लिए सच में क्या अच्छा है। मैं आपका शिष्य हूँ, आपकी शरण में हूँ, मुझे सिखाइए।
