॥ Om Sri Paramadmane Nama:॥
Ada dvithiyo adyaya:। Sankhya Yoga(The way of the discriminative logic) |
Sanjaya Uvacha। |
tam tatha kripayavistam asru-purnakuleksanam। visidantam edam vakayam-uvacha madhusudanah:॥ 2.1 ॥ |
Sanjaya said: Seeing Sri Krishna (Madhusudana) then addressed the following words to Arjuna, who was overwhelmed with pity, full of compassion, his mind depressed, his eyes full of tears.
Sri Bhagavan Uvacha। |
kutasa-tva kashmalam-idam
vishame samupasthitam। அநanarya-jushtam asvargyam akirti-karam arjuna॥ 2.2 ॥ |
Sri Bhagavan said: Arjuna, how has this infatuation overtaken you at this odd hour? It is not at all befitting for a man who knows the value of life. Neither it shall bring heaven, nor fame to you.
klaibyam ma sma gamah: partha
naitat tvayy-upapadyate। kshudram hridaya-daurbalyam tyaktvottistha parantapa॥ 2.3 ॥ |
Yield not to unmanliness, O Parth. It does not become you. Shaking off such petty weakness of heart and arise, O scorcher of the enemy.
Arjuna Uvacha। |
katham bhismam aham sankhye
dronam cha madhusudana। isubhih: pratiyotsyami pujarhav ari-sudana॥ 2.4 ॥ |
Arjuna said: How, Sri Krishna, shall I fight & attack with arrows in battlefield such a men like Bhishma and Drona, who are worthy of my worship?
gurun ahatva hi mahanubhavan
sreyo bhoktum bhaiksyam apiha loke। hatvartha-kamams tu gurun ihaiva bhunjiya bhogan rudhira-pradigdhan॥ 2.5 ॥ |
It is better to live in this world on alms than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. If they are killed, then we shall enjoy only blood-stained pleasures in the form of wealth & sense-enjoyments.
na chaitad vidmah kataran no gariyo
yad va jayema yadi va no jayeyuh:। yan eva hatva na jijivisamas te ’vasthitah pramukhe dhartarashtrah:॥ 2.6 ॥ |
We do not know which is preferable & better for us—to fight or not o fight, conquering them or being conquered by them. The sons of Dhritarashtra, by killing whom we do not even wish to live. Yet they are arrayed against us on the battlefield.
