Educational Q&A
A difficult duty becomes bearable and rightly executed when one is supported by wise, dharmic guidance—here symbolized by Arjuna’s strength being steadied by Kṛṣṇa’s presence.
The narrator notes that Arjuna, traveling/acting together with Kṛṣṇa, did not experience the undertaking as an excessive burden; Kṛṣṇa’s companionship makes the task manageable.
