वायुवेगगति: पार्थ: खं भेजे सहकेशव: । केशवेन गृहीतः स दक्षिणे विभुना भुजे,उस समय अर्जुन भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्णके साथ वायुवेगके समान तीव्रगतिसे आकाशमें बहुत ऊँचे उठ गये। भगवान्‌ केशवने उनकी दाहिनी बाँह पकड़ रखी थी

vāyuvegagatiḥ pārthaḥ khaṁ bheje saha-keśavaḥ | keśavena gṛhītaḥ sa dakṣiṇe vibhunā bhuje ||

ఆ సమయంలో పార్థుడు (అర్జునుడు) వాయువేగంలా వేగంగా కేశవుడితో కలిసి ఆకాశంలోకి ఎగసాడు. సర్వశక్తిమంతుడైన కేశవుడు అతని కుడి భుజాన్ని గట్టిగా పట్టుకున్నాడు.

Educational Q&A

Even in the chaos of battle, righteous action is sustained by right guidance: Arjuna’s extraordinary movement is framed not as mere prowess but as enabled and steadied by Keśava’s protective grasp—symbolizing reliance on divine wisdom and support while pursuing dharma.

Sañjaya describes a dramatic moment in which Arjuna, together with Kṛṣṇa, swiftly ascends into the sky; Kṛṣṇa (Keśava), the powerful charioteer and guide, holds Arjuna by the right arm as they rise.
