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.
