“Hrishikesha, smiling, then spoke these words to the grieving Arjuna, who was in the midst of the two armies.”
Commentary
Lord Krishna, who is addressed as Hrishikesha (meaning “the master of the senses” or “the controller of the mind and senses”), speaks to Arjuna, who is overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. The mention of Lord Krishna’s smile signifies his divine compassion and understanding towards Arjuna’s emotional state.
Lord Krishna understands Arjuna’s state of lamentation and sorrow, and prepares to offer guidance and wisdom to alleviate his inner turmoil.
