Purport
Any man who has genuine devotion to the Lord has all the good qualities which are found in godly persons or in the demigods, whereas the nondevotee, however advanced he may be in material qualifications by education and culture, lacks in godly qualities. As such, Arjuna, just after seeing his kinsmen, friends and relatives on the battlefield, was at once overwhelmed by compassion for them who had so decided to fight amongst themselves. As far as his soldiers were concerned, he was sympathetic from the beginning, but he felt compassion even for the soldiers of the opposite party, foreseeing their imminent death. And while he was so thinking, the limbs of his body began to quiver, and his mouth became dry. He was more or less astonished to see their fighting spirit. Practically the whole community, all blood relatives of Arjuna, had come to fight with him. This overwhelmed a kind devotee like Arjuna. Although it is not mentioned here, still one can easily imagine that not only were Arjuna’s bodily limbs quivering and his mouth drying up, but he was also crying out of compassion. Such symptoms in Arjuna were not due to weakness but to his softheartedness, a characteristic of a pure devotee of the Lord. It is said therefore:

yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā
sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ
harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā
mano-rathenāsati dhāvato bahiḥ
“One who has unflinching devotion for the Personality of Godhead has all the good qualities of the demigods. But one who is not a devotee of the Lord has only material qualifications that are of little value. This is because he is hovering on the mental plane and is certain to be attracted by the glaring material energy.

तान्समीक्ष्य स कौन्तेयः सर्वान्बन्धूनवस्थितान् । 
कृपया परयाविष्टो विषीदन्निदमब्रवीत् ॥२७॥

तान् – उन सब को; समीक्ष्य – देखकर; सः – वह; कौन्तेयः – कुन्तीपुत्र; सर्वान् – सभी प्रकार के; बन्धून् – सम्बन्धियों को; 
अवस्थितान् – स्थित; कृपया – दयावश; परया – अत्यधिक; आविष्टः – अभिभूत; विषीदन् – शोक करता हुआ; इदम् – इस प्रकार; अब्रवीत् – बोला;  

जब कुन्तीपुत्र अर्जुन ने मित्रों तथा सम्बन्धियों की इन विभिन्न श्रेणियों को देखा तो वह करुणा से अभिभूत हो गया और इस प्रकार बोला | 

अर्जुन उवाच
दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम् ।
सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति ॥२८॥        

अर्जुनः उवाच – अर्जुन ने कहा; दृष्ट्वा – देख कर; इमम् – इन सारे; स्वजनम् – सम्बन्धियों को; कृष्ण – हे कृष्ण; युयुत्सुम् – युद्ध की इच्छा रखने वाले;
समुपस्थितम् – उपस्थित; सीदन्ति – काँप रहे हैं; मम – मेरे; गात्राणि – शरीर के अंग; मुखम् – मुँह; च – भी; परिशुष्यति – सूख रहा है |  

अर्जुन ने कहा – हे कृष्ण! इस प्रकार युद्ध कि इच्छा रखने वाले मित्रों तथा सम्बन्धियों को अपने समक्ष उपस्थित देखकर मेरे शरीर के अंग काँप रहे हैं 
और मेरा मुँह सूखा जा रहा है |

यथार्थ भक्ति से युक्त मनुष्य में वे सारे सद्गुण रहते हैं जो सत्पुरुषों या देवताओं में पाये जाते हैं जबकि अभक्त अपनी शिक्षा या संस्कृति के द्वारा भौतिक योग्यताओं
में चाहे कितना ही उन्नत क्यों न हो इस इश्र्वरीय गुणों से विहीन होता है | अतः मित्रों तथा सम्बन्धियों को युद्धभूमि में देखते ही अर्जुन उन सबों के लिए करुणा से 
अभिभूत हो गया | जहाँ तक उसके अपने सैनिकों का सम्बन्ध थे, वह उनके प्रति प्रारम्भ से दयालु था,
किन्तु विपक्षी दल के सैनिकों कि आसन्न मृत्यु को देखकर वह उन पर भी दया का अनुभव कर रहा था | और जब वह इस प्रकार सोच रहा था तो उसके 
अंगों में कंपन होने लगा और मुँह सूख गया | प्रायः सारा कुटुम्ब, अर्जुन के सगे सम्बन्धी उससे युद्ध करने आये थे 
अर्जुन में ऐसे लक्षण किसी दुर्बलता के कारण नहीं अपितु हृदय की कोमलता के कारण थे जो भगवान् के शुद्ध भक्त का लक्षण है |

श्लोक सत्ताईस तथा अट्ठाईस का सार ये है की,
जो भगवान के प्रति अविचल भक्ति रखता है उसमें देवताओं के सद्गुण पाये जाते हैं . किन्तु जो भगवद्भक्त नहीं है उसके पास भौतिक योग्यताएँ 
ही रहती हैं जिनका कोई मूल्य नहीं होता . इसका कारण यह है कि वह मानसिक धरातल पर मँडराता रहता है और ज्वलन्त माया के द्वारा अवश्य ही आकृष्ट होता है.
