ततः: कृष्णवच: श्रुत्वा संस्पृश्याम्भो धनंजय: । भूमावासीन एकाग्रो जगाम मनसा भवम्,भगवान् श्रीकृष्णका यह वचन सुनकर अर्जुन जलका आचमन करके धरतीपर एकाग्र होकर बैठ गये और मनसे महादेवजीका चिन्तन करने लगे
Transliteration
tataḥ kṛṣṇavacaḥ śrutvā saṁspṛśyāmbho dhanañjayaḥ | bhūmāv āsīna ekāgro jagāma manasā bhavam ||
Translation
Sanjaya said: Hearing the words of Krishna, Dhananjaya (Arjuna) performed ācamana by touching water. Then, seated upon the ground with a single-pointed mind, he turned his inward thought toward Bhava (Mahadeva, Shiva). In the midst of war, Arjuna responds to counsel not with haste but with disciplined purification and focused devotion, seeking higher guidance before action.
