yadcchayaa chopapannam
svarga-dvaram apavrtam
sukhina katriyaa partha
labhante yuddham idrsham
Since Arjuna has viewed the battle of Mahabharatha wrongly,he has concluded the consequences too wrongly.He has viewed it from the angle of samanya dharma,and hence concluded that fighting the war would bring him papa & lead him to Naraka.
But,viewed from the visesha dharma point of view,which is correct,the Mahabharatha is ethical & fighting it would only bring him punya and lead him to Svarga,just like how army men are rewarded with various chakras on the republic day,for savagely killing the enemies in a war,which is an act of violence,indeed,but necessary in that situation.
Krishna tells Arjuna that fighting in the Mahabharatha war is an open door to heaven(swarga-dvaram) and such an oppurtunity has come to him,not because he wanted it,but because he is destined for it(yadcchayaa chopapannam).Hence,only a fortunate kshatriya(sukhina katriyaa) would get such a rare opportunity to fight for dharma and that he should not back off.
