अथवा चित्तनिर्वृत्यै ज्ञातुमिच्छसि भारत । शत्रूणां प्रत्यनीकेषु संधावच्छृणु मे वचः
athavā cittanirvṛtyai jñātumicchasi bhārata | śatrūṇāṃ pratyanīkeṣu saṃdhāvacchṛṇu me vacaḥ
Oder, wenn du es wissen willst, um deinen Geist zu beruhigen, o Bhārata—höre meine Worte, während ich eilends durch die feindlichen Schlachtordnungen dahinstürme.

Scene: A mentor-like warrior speaks while moving swiftly along the battle line, pointing out enemy formations; the listener watches attentively, mind becoming calm amid chaos.
