Transliteration

śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca | idānīṁ pārtha jānāmi na vṛddhāḥ sevitās tvayā | kāle na puruṣavyāpra saṁrambhaṁ yad bhavān agāt ||

Translation

ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണൻ പറഞ്ഞു—പാർഥാ! ഇപ്പോൾ എനിക്ക് ബോധ്യമായി; നീ മൂപ്പന്മാരുടെ സേവനവും (ഉപദേശവും) സ്വീകരിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. ഹേ പ്രവർത്തനവീരാ! യോജ്യസമയത്ത് ആവശ്യമായ ദൃഢനിശ്ചയത്തോടെ നീ എഴുന്നേറുകയില്ലായിരുന്നു.
