वायुवेगगति: पार्थ: खं भेजे सहकेशव: । केशवेन गृहीतः स दक्षिणे विभुना भुजे,उस समय अर्जुन भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्णके साथ वायुवेगके समान तीव्रगतिसे आकाशमें बहुत ऊँचे उठ गये। भगवान्‌ केशवने उनकी दाहिनी बाँह पकड़ रखी थी

vāyuvegagatiḥ pārthaḥ khaṁ bheje saha-keśavaḥ | keśavena gṛhītaḥ sa dakṣiṇe vibhunā bhuje ||

Sañjaya said: Arjuna, moving with the speed of the wind, rose high into the sky together with Keśava. The mighty Lord Keśava held him firmly by his right arm—an image of divine protection and guidance amid the violence of war.

Educational Q&A

Even in the chaos of battle, righteous action is sustained by right guidance: Arjuna’s extraordinary movement is framed not as mere prowess but as enabled and steadied by Keśava’s protective grasp—symbolizing reliance on divine wisdom and support while pursuing dharma.

Sañjaya describes a dramatic moment in which Arjuna, together with Kṛṣṇa, swiftly ascends into the sky; Kṛṣṇa (Keśava), the powerful charioteer and guide, holds Arjuna by the right arm as they rise.
