Sanjaya disse: Vendo Arjuna assim—dominado pela compaixão, com os olhos inquietos e cheios de lágrimas, e o espírito afundando no pesar—Madhusudana (Krishna, o matador de Madhu) lhe falou estas palavras. A cena assinala a crise ética no coração da guerra: a piedade e o apego paralisam seu dever, e Krishna começa a reorientá-lo para o dharma e o discernimento claro.

Educational Q&A
The verse sets up Krishna’s corrective teaching: compassion and attachment, when they lead to paralysis and abandonment of rightful duty, must be examined and transformed into clear discernment (viveka) aligned with dharma.
Sanjaya describes Arjuna’s emotional collapse—tearful, shaken, and despondent—after seeing his kin on both sides. In response, Krishna begins speaking, initiating the main instruction of the Gita in the second chapter.
