Since the war was between cousins, all the relatives were present on both sides. Arjuna not only saw his grandfather , uncles etc. among the kourava forces but also saw them on his side also and he was overcome by pity that all these would have been killed as the result of war. Krpayaaparyavishto- Arjuna was possessed by great pity, says Sanjaya, as the one possessed, aavishta. The word parayaa, great, means that the pity induced fear uncharacteristic of a hero like Arjuna.
