teṣāṃ ca rakṣaṇārthāya yudhyate phālgunaḥ paraiḥ | etaj jñātvā mahābāho kāryadvayam upasthitam ||
તેમની રક્ષા માટે ફાલ્ગુન (અર્જુન) અન્ય શત્રુઓ સામે યુદ્ધ કરે છે. આ જાણીને, હે મહાબાહો, તારા સમક્ષ દ્વિગુણ કાર્ય ઉપસ્થિત થયું છે.

The verse highlights a warrior’s ethical tension: protection of one’s side is a legitimate duty, yet circumstances can present a ‘twofold task’ where competing obligations arise. It points to dharma as situational—requiring discernment when duties conflict.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna is actively fighting to protect his people. He then tells the addressed hero (called ‘Mahābāhu’) that, in light of this, two urgent courses of action or responsibilities have now presented themselves.
