अथवा चित्तनिर्वृत्यै ज्ञातुमिच्छसि भारत । शत्रूणां प्रत्यनीकेषु संधावच्छृणु मे वचः
athavā cittanirvṛtyai jñātumicchasi bhārata | śatrūṇāṃ pratyanīkeṣu saṃdhāvacchṛṇu me vacaḥ
Atau jika engkau ingin mengetahuinya demi menenteramkan hati, wahai Bhārata—dengarlah kata-kataku ketika aku meluru pantas menembusi barisan tempur musuh.
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.
