Inauspicious Omens and Arjuna’s Return from Dvārakā
गता: सप्ताधुना मासा भीमसेन तवानुज: । नायाति कस्य वा हेतोर्नाहं वेदेदमञ्जसा ॥ ७ ॥
gatāḥ saptādhunā māsā bhīmasena tavānujaḥ nāyāti kasya vā hetor nāhaṁ vededam añjasā
ഭീമസേന, അവൻ പോയിട്ട് ഇപ്പോൾ ഏഴ് മാസം കഴിഞ്ഞു; എങ്കിലും അവൻ മടങ്ങിയെത്തിയില്ല. അവിടെ എന്താണ് കാരണമെന്ന് എനിക്ക് വ്യക്തമായി അറിയില്ല.
FAQs
In Canto 1, Chapter 14, Yudhishthira notes that seven months have passed and Arjuna has not returned, indicating ominous changes connected with Lord Krishna’s disappearance.
Yudhishthira shares his concern with Bhima because Arjuna’s prolonged absence is unusual; it signals that extraordinary events have occurred, soon revealed to be tied to Krishna’s departure from the world.
When outcomes are unclear, acknowledge uncertainty honestly, stay attentive to signs, and respond with steadiness and responsibility rather than panic—especially during transitions and losses.
