Adhyāya 55: Pārtha–Rādheya Saṃvāda and Tactical Exchange
Chapter 55
सदा ममैष मान्यस्तु सर्वशस्त्रभृतामपि । सुप्रसन्नं महावीरं कुरुष्वैनं प्रदक्षिणम्,ये मेरे तथा अन्य सब शस्त्रधारियोंके माननीय हैं। तुम इन परम प्रसन्न महावीर आचार्यपादकी रथद्वारा प्रदक्षिणा करो
arjuna uvāca | sadā mama eṣa mānyas tu sarvaśastrabhṛtām api | suprasannaṃ mahāvīraṃ kuruṣvainaṃ pradakṣiṇam ||
アルジュナは言った。「この師は、私にとって常に敬うべきお方—いや、武器を執る者すべてにとっても同じだ。いまこの大勇士は機嫌よくおられる。戦車で右繞して、敬意を表せ。」
