Shloka 14
ततः कतिपयाहस्य बीभत्सु: कृष्णमब्रवीत् | उष्णानि कृष्ण वर्तन्ते गच्छावो यमुनां प्रति,तदनन्तर कुछ दिनोंके बाद अर्जुनने श्रीकृष्णसे कहा--“कृष्ण! बड़ी गरमी पड़ रही है। चलिये, यमुनाजीमें स्नानके लिये चलें
tataḥ katipayāhasya bībhatsuḥ kṛṣṇam abravīt | uṣṇāni kṛṣṇa vartante gacchāvo yamunāṃ prati ||
ครั้นล่วงไปได้ไม่กี่วัน บีภัตสุ อรชุนจึงกล่าวแก่พระกฤษณะว่า “กฤษณะ ความร้อนแรงกล้ายิ่งนัก; เราไปทางฝั่งยมุนากันเถิด”

The verse does not deliver a direct doctrinal teaching; it highlights the epic’s ethical texture through companionship and simple human needs. Arjuna’s candid request and Kṛṣṇa’s presence underscore trust, friendship, and the narrative principle that significant turns often arise from ordinary moments.
After some days, Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa, noting that the heat is severe and proposing that they go toward the Yamunā—implicitly for cooling and bathing. The verse functions as a transition that moves the characters into a new setting where subsequent events can occur.
