गता: सप्ताधुना मासा भीमसेन तवानुज: । नायाति कस्य वा हेतोर्नाहं वेदेदमञ्जसा ॥ ७ ॥
gatāḥ saptādhunā māsā bhīmasena tavānujaḥ nāyāti kasya vā hetor nāhaṁ vededam añjasā
Bhīmasena, seit seinem Aufbruch sind nun sieben Monate vergangen, doch er ist nicht zurückgekehrt. Ich weiß nicht mit Gewissheit, was dort der Grund ist.
FAQs
In Canto 1, Chapter 14, Yudhishthira notes that seven months have passed and Arjuna has not returned, indicating ominous changes connected with Lord Krishna’s disappearance.
Yudhishthira shares his concern with Bhima because Arjuna’s prolonged absence is unusual; it signals that extraordinary events have occurred, soon revealed to be tied to Krishna’s departure from the world.
When outcomes are unclear, acknowledge uncertainty honestly, stay attentive to signs, and respond with steadiness and responsibility rather than panic—especially during transitions and losses.
