Translation

Wika ni Sanjaya: O Hari, sina Arjuna at Vāsudeva (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) ay kapwa kataas-taasang mamamana, pinararangalan nang higit sa lahat. Bagaman sa diwa’y walang hanggang nagkakaisa, nagpakita silang magkahiwalay sa sariling kalooban para sa kapakanan ng daigdig, at ganap na kapantay sa bawat gawaing dapat maisakatuparan.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse frames Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa as divinely purposed agents: their excellence and honor are not merely personal achievements but instruments for universal welfare. Ethical action is presented as guided by higher intention—capability and prestige are to serve lokasaṅgraha (the good of the world).

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya begins describing to Dhṛtarāṣṭra the greatness of Kṛṣṇa (and Arjuna), emphasizing that both are supremely revered archers who have appeared separately by deliberate will, implying a providential design behind the unfolding events of the impending Kurukṣetra conflict.
