Educational Q&A
Even in the midst of warfare, dharmic conduct includes humility before the divine and recognition of a higher cosmic order. Arjuna’s repeated salutations express that true strength is grounded in reverence and awareness of the ultimate source of all existence.
Sanjaya narrates that Arjuna repeatedly bows to the revealed deity (identified in the received tradition here as Mahādeva/Śiva), having understood him as the primordial cause and the origin of the past, present, and future worlds.
