generals who have highly esteemed your name and fame will think that you
have left the battlefield out of fear only, and thus they will consider
you a coward.
PURPORT Lord Krsna continued
to give His verdict to Arjuna: "Do not think that the great generals like
Duryodhana, Karna, and other contemporaries will think that you have left
the battlefield out of compassion for your brothers and grandfather. They
will think that you have left out of fear for your life. And thus their
high estimation of your personality will go to hell."
