Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 BHAGAVAD-GITA 1:46 sanjaya uvaca evam uktvarjunah sankhye rathopastha upavisat visrjya sa-saram capam soka-samvigna-manasah WORD FOR WORD sanjayah uvaca--Sanjaya said; evam--thus; uktva--saying; arjunah--Arjuna; sankhye--in the battlefield; ratha--of the chariot; upasthe--on the seat; upavisat--sat down again; visrjya--putting aside; sa-saram--along with arrows; capam--the bow; soka--by lamentation; samvigna--distressed; manasah--within the mind. TRANSLATION Sanjaya said: Arjuna, having thus spoken on the battlefield, cast aside his bow and arrows and sat down on the chariot, his mind overwhelmed with grief. PURPORT While observing the situation of his enemy, Arjuna stood up on the chariot, but he was so afflicted with lamentation that he sat down again, setting aside his bow and arrows. Such a kind and soft-hearted person, in the devotional service of the Lord, is fit to receive self-knowledge. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta Purports to the First Chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad-gita in the matter of Observing the Armies on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra.
