Shloka 30
इत्यब्रवीद्धूषीकेश: पार्थमुद्धर्षपयन् गिरा । गर्जन् समयवर्षीव गगने पाकशासन:,जैसे इन्द्र आकाशमें गर्जता हुआ समयपर वर्षा करता है, उसी प्रकार भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने अर्जुनको अपनी वाणीसे आनन्दित करते हुए उपर्युक्त बात कही
ity abravīd dhūṣīkeśaḥ pārtham uddharṣayan girā | garjan samayavarṣīva gagane pākaśāsanaḥ ||
Thus Hṛṣīkeśa (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) spoke, heartening Pārtha (Arjuna) with his words. Like Pākaśāsana (Indra), who thunders in the sky and sends rain in due season, Kṛṣṇa’s speech resounded with power and timeliness—meant to strengthen resolve in the face of impending conflict.

The verse highlights the ethical force of timely, purposeful counsel: Kṛṣṇa’s words are not mere rhetoric but a dharmic encouragement that steadies Arjuna’s mind and strengthens resolve at a critical moment, like life-sustaining rain arriving in its proper season.
Vāyudeva narrates that Kṛṣṇa (Hṛṣīkeśa) addresses Arjuna (Pārtha), uplifting him through powerful speech. The comparison to Indra’s thunder and seasonal rain emphasizes the majesty and effectiveness of Kṛṣṇa’s exhortation in the lead-up to decisive events.
