Thus, in his mind, O king, having honored the Kaurava, the mighty-armed Partha Arjuna replied to Vasudeva: "Because my gaze is fixed upon Saindhava, I do not see him, O Madhava; yet this is a difficult deed I shall do for the Yadava's sake." Having said this, and fulfilling the word of Vasudeva, the Pandava cut off, with a feathered arrow, the arm -- sword in hand -- of the one devoted to sacrifice [Bhurishravas].

Arjuna calls his own act a "difficult deed" -- he is aware of its weight: to intervene in another's duel, to strike unseen one who was not fighting him, is a burden upon conscience, not valor for display. It is telling that what moves him is not pride but the rescue of a friend, "for the Yadava's sake." The verse teaches that there are deeds in which the duty of love commands one to transgress the ordinary measure of combat; and a conscientious man does not hide their weight but calls them difficult, taking upon himself both the burden and the answer for them.
