Shloka 23
🌟 Sanskrit:
सञ्जय उवाच |
एवमुक्तो हृषीकेशो गुडाकेशेन भारत |
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये स्थापयित्वा रथोत्तमम् || 1.23 ||
(Note: This is often read with the next verse to complete the thought.)
🌟 Transliteration:
sañjaya uvāca |
evam ukto hṛṣīkeśo guḍākeśena bhārata |
senayor ubhayor madhye sthāpayitvā rathottamam ||
🌟 Meaning:
Sanjaya said: O descendant of Bharata (Dhritarashtra), having been thus addressed by Arjuna (the conqueror of sleep), Lord Krishna placed the magnificent chariot in the midst of the two armies.
🌟 Explanation:
Sanjaya continues his narration to King Dhritarashtra. He describes how Krishna, upon hearing Arjuna's command, expertly maneuvers their supreme chariot to the center of the battlefield. The scene is set for a dramatic confrontation. 🎯
Shloka 24
🌟 Sanskrit:
भीष्मद्रोणप्रमुखतः सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम् |
उवाच पार्थ पश्यैतान्समवेतान्कुरूनिति || 1.24 ||
(Note: Verses 24 and 25 are often combined.)
🌟 Transliteration:
bhīṣma-droṇa-pramukhataḥ sarveṣāṁ ca mahī-kṣitām |
uvāca pārtha paśyaitān samavetān kurūn iti ||
🌟 Meaning:
In front of Bhishma, Drona, and all the other rulers of the earth, the Lord said, "O Partha (Arjuna), behold all the Kurus assembled here."
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna doesn't just stop anywhere. He intentionally places the chariot directly in front of the most revered and beloved figures on the opposing side: Grandsire Bhishma and teacher Drona. He then directly tells Arjuna to look at his relatives, forcing him to confront the personal cost of the war. This is a masterstroke by the divine charioteer. 👀
Shloka 25
🌟 Sanskrit:
तत्रापश्यत्स्थितान्पार्थः पितॄनथ पितामहान् |
आचार्यान्मातुलान्भ्रातॄन्पुत्रान्पौत्रान्सखींस्तथा || 1.25 ||
(Note: This verse begins to detail what Arjuna sees.)
🌟 Transliteration:
tatrāpaśyat sthitān pārthaḥ pitṝn atha pitāmahān |
ācāryān mātulān bhrātṝn putrān pautrān sakhīṁs tathā ||
🌟 Meaning:
There, Arjuna could see standing on both sides: his fathers (uncles), grandfathers, teachers, maternal uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, and friends.
🌟 Explanation:
As Arjuna looks, the reality of the situation hits him. The "enemy" is not an anonymous force; it is composed of the very people he loves and respects. He sees his entire family tree and social circle arrayed for battle, ready to kill and be killed. This sight is the trigger for his immense grief. 👨👩👧👦💔
Today’s Takeaway
Confronting the Truth. Sometimes, to grow, we must face uncomfortable truths head-on. A true friend or guide (like Krishna) won't always shield us from pain but will instead position us to see the reality we need to confront. Facing this reality, however painful, is the first step toward finding a true solution. 👁️❤️🩹
