अथवा चित्तनिर्वृत्यै ज्ञातुमिच्छसि भारत । शत्रूणां प्रत्यनीकेषु संधावच्छृणु मे वचः
athavā cittanirvṛtyai jñātumicchasi bhārata | śatrūṇāṃ pratyanīkeṣu saṃdhāvacchṛṇu me vacaḥ
ಅಥವಾ, ಓ ಭಾರತ, ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ನಿವೃತ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿಯಲು ಇಚ್ಛಿಸಿದರೆ—ಶತ್ರುಗಳ ವ್ಯೂಹಗಳೊಳಗೆ ವೇಗವಾಗಿ ಸಾಗುತ್ತಾ ನನ್ನ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಕೇಳು.
Keśava (Kṛṣṇa/Dāmodara)

Scene: A mentor-like warrior speaks while moving swiftly along the battle line, pointing out enemy formations; the listener watches attentively, mind becoming calm amid chaos.
Peace of mind arises from clear understanding; dharmic action is strengthened by informed discernment.
