Translation
Sañjaya said: In that great battle, when Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) was struck by a javelin, the whip slipped from his hand, and the reins too fell down—O lord of men, O protector of the people. The scene underscores how even the charioteer of Arjuna bears the shocks of war, steadfastly sustaining his duty amid peril.
