अभीतीौ युधि दुर्धर्षा तस्थतु: सज्जकार्मुकौ । उस महासंग्राममें प्रलयकालके समान रूपवाले तथा प्राणियोंको मोहमें डाल देनेवाले अद्भुत अपशकुन दिखायी देने लगे। देवताओंसहित इन्द्रको रोषमें भरा देख अपनी महिमासे च्युत न होनेवाले निर्भय तथा दुर्धर्ष वीर श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन धनुष तानकर युद्धके लिये खड़े हो गये || ३९-४० $ ।। आगच्छतस्ततो देवानुभौ युद्धविशारदौ

abhītau yudhi durdharṣā tasthatuḥ sajja-kārmukau | āgacchatas tato devān ubhau yuddha-viśāradau ||

Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Intrépidos y difíciles de abatir en combate, los dos permanecieron en pie con los arcos tensos y listos. Luego, cuando los dioses se acercaron, aquellos dos maestros de la guerra—Kṛṣṇa y Arjuna—se mantuvieron dispuestos para luchar, sin amedrentarse, aunque los presagios hicieran del campo de batalla una imagen del tiempo de la disolución.

Educational Q&A

Steadfastness in dharma: even when the world seems shaken by ominous signs and divine anger, the righteous warrior maintains composure, preparedness, and courage, acting without being overwhelmed by fear or confusion.

As the gods draw near and the battlefield is charged with dreadful portents, two formidable figures—Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna—stand firm with bows strung, ready to meet the coming conflict without fear.
