śaraṇaṃ gaccha kaunteya varadaṃ bhuvaneśvaram

Translation

Vyāsa said: “O son of Kuntī, take refuge in the Lord of the worlds, the gracious giver of boons.” In the midst of crisis and moral strain, the counsel redirects the warrior’s mind from mere strategy to surrender—seeking protection and right guidance from the supreme source of order and grace.
