Translation

Překlad

At that time Arjuna, the son of Pāṇḍu, seated in the chariot bearing the flag marked with Hanumān, took up his bow and prepared to shoot his arrows. O King, after looking at the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra drawn in military array, Arjuna then spoke to Lord Kṛṣṇa these words.

Ó, kráľ, Arjuna, syn Pāṇḍuov, na svojom bojovom voze nesúcom vlajku so znakom Hanumāna v tejto chvíli pozdvihol svoj luk, aby sa pripravil vystreliť šípy. Pozrel sa na Dhṛtarāṣṭrových synov zoradených vo vojenskom šíku a potom oslovil Śrī Kṛṣṇu nasledujúcimi slovami.“

Význam

The battle was just about to begin. It is understood from the above statement that the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra were more or less disheartened by the unexpected arrangement of military force by the Pāṇḍavas, who were guided by the direct instructions of Lord Kṛṣṇa on the battlefield. The emblem of Hanumān on the flag of Arjuna is another sign of victory because Hanumān cooperated with Lord Rāma in the battle between Rāma and Rāvaṇa, and Lord Rāma emerged victorious. Now both Rāma and Hanumān were present on the chariot of Arjuna to help him. Lord Kṛṣṇa is Rāma Himself, and wherever Lord Rāma is, His eternal servitor Hanumān and His eternal consort Sītā, the goddess of fortune, are present. Therefore, Arjuna had no cause to fear any enemies whatsoever. And above all, the Lord of the senses, Lord Kṛṣṇa, was personally present to give him direction. Thus, all good counsel was available to Arjuna in the matter of executing the battle. In such auspicious conditions, arranged by the Lord for His eternal devotee, lay the signs of assured victory.

Boj sa mal práve začať. Z predchádzajúceho verša môžeme porozumieť, že Dhṛtarāṣṭrovi synovia boli viac-menej zhrození neočakávaným usporiadaním vojenských šíkov bratov Pāṇḍuovcov, ktorých na bojisku viedol samotný Pán. Znak Hanumāna na vlajke Arjunovho bojového vozu je ďalším znamením víťazstva, pretože Hanumān pomohol Najvyššiemu Pánovi, Śrī Rāmovi, v boji proti Rāvaṇovi, z ktorého vyšiel Rāmacandra víťazne. Teraz boli Rāma i Hanumān prítomní na Arjunovom voze, aby mu poskytli pomoc. Śrī Kṛṣṇa je samotný Rāmacandra a všade, kde je Rāma, tam je aj Jeho večná spoločníčka Sītā, bohyňa šťastia, a Jeho večný spoločník Hanumān. Arjuna preto nemal žiadny dôvod, aby sa bál akéhokoľvek nepriateľa. Bol tu Pán zmyslov, Kṛṣṇa, aby ho osobne viedol. Tieto priaznivé podmienky, ktoré Kṛṣṇa pripravil pre svojho oddaného, zaručovali Arjunovi isté víťazstvo.
