BHAGAVADGITA

English translation of Sri Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary - Swami

1.1 - 1.19 Dhrtarastra said --- Sanjaya said -- Duryodhana, after viewing
the forces of Pandavas protected by Bhima, and his own forces
protected by Bhisma conveyed his views thus to Drona, his teacher,
about the adequacy of Bhima's forces for conquering the Kaurava forces
and the inadequacy of his own forces for victory against the Pandava
forces. He was grief-stricken within. Observing his (Duryodhana's)
despondecny, Bhisma, in order to cheer him, roared like a lion, and then
blowing his conch, made his side sound their conchs and kettle-drums,
which made an uproar as a sign of victory. Then, having heard that great
tumult, Arjuna and Sri Krsna the Lord of all lords, who was acting as the
charioteer of Arjuna, sitting in their great chariot which was powerful
enough to conquer the three worlds; blew their divine conchs Srimad
Pancajanya and Devadatta. Then, both Yudhisthira and Bhima blew their
respective conchs separately. That tumult rent asunder the hearts of
your sons, led by Duryodhana. The sons of Dhrtarastra then thought,
'Our cause is almost lost now itself.' So said Sanjaya to Dhrtarastra who
was longing for their victory. Sanjaya said to Dhrtarastra: Then, seeing
the Kauravas, who were ready for battle, Arjuna, who had Hanuman,
noted for his exploit of burning Lanka, as the emblem on his flag on his
chariot, directed his charioteer Sri Krsna, the Supreme Lord-who is
overcome by parental love for those who take shelter in Him who is the
treasure-house of knowledge, power, lordship, energy, potency and
splendour, whose sportive delight brings about the origin, sustentation
and dissolution of the entire cosmos at His will, who is the Lord of the
senses, who controls in all ways the senses inner and outer of all,
superior and inferior --- by saying, 'Station my chariot in an appropriate
place in order that I may see exactly my enemies who are eager for
battle.'

protected by Bhisma conveyed his views thus to Drona, his teacher,
about the adequacy of Bhima's forces for conquering the Kaurava forces
and the inadequacy of his own forces for victory against the Pandava
forces. He was grief-stricken within. Observing his (Duryodhana's)
despondecny, Bhisma, in order to cheer him, roared like a lion, and then
blowing his conch, made his side sound their conchs and kettle-drums,
which made an uproar as a sign of victory. Then, having heard that great
tumult, Arjuna and Sri Krsna the Lord of all lords, who was acting as the
charioteer of Arjuna, sitting in their great chariot which was powerful
enough to conquer the three worlds; blew their divine conchs Srimad
Pancajanya and Devadatta. Then, both Yudhisthira and Bhima blew their
respective conchs separately. That tumult rent asunder the hearts of
your sons, led by Duryodhana. The sons of Dhrtarastra then thought,
'Our cause is almost lost now itself.' So said Sanjaya to Dhrtarastra who
was longing for their victory. Sanjaya said to Dhrtarastra: Then, seeing
the Kauravas, who were ready for battle, Arjuna, who had Hanuman,
noted for his exploit of burning Lanka, as the emblem on his flag on his
chariot, directed his charioteer Sri Krsna, the Supreme Lord-who is
overcome by parental love for those who take shelter in Him who is the
treasure-house of knowledge, power, lordship, energy, potency and
splendour, whose sportive delight brings about the origin, sustentation
and dissolution of the entire cosmos at His will, who is the Lord of the
senses, who controls in all ways the senses inner and outer of all,
superior and inferior --- by saying, 'Station my chariot in an appropriate
place in order that I may see exactly my enemies who are eager for
battle.'

righteous, having brothers like himself, though repeatedly deceived by
the treacherous attempts of your people like burning in the lac-house
etc., and therefore fit to be killed by him with the help of the Supreme
Person, nevertheless said, 'I will not fight.' He felt weak, overcome as
he was by his love and extreme compassion for his relatives. He was
also filled with fear, not knowing what was righteous and what
unrighteous. His mind was tortured by grief, because of the thought of
future separation from his relations. So he threw away his bow and
arrow and sat on the chariot as if to fast to death.
