EXPLANATION

When Arjuna saw his relatives and friends his attachment towards them surfaced out and also he being a true devote of Lord Krishna was very kind and always against the war. Due to this he became sympathetic towards everyone he saw in the battle field. He felt compassion even for the soldiers of thr opposite army foreseeing their imminent death and while he was so thinking his body started shivering, his mouth became dry. His hairs started standing on end even his bow Gandiva started slipping out of his hand. Here Arjuna seems to be showing material attachment but in fact it is not the kind of ordinary material attachment, but in fact it is the kindness towards the people fighting in the war. Due to his impatience he was unable to stand on the battle field. Thus he speaks to the lord that he is foreseeing only misfortune for all those participating in the war. Lord has been named her Keshava Because Lord has killed the Demon Kesi.
