Sanjaya said:
“Having heard the words of Lord Krishna, Arjuna, with folded hands and trembling, wearing his crown, bowed down again and again. With a choked voice and fearful heart, he offered his obeisances to Krishna.”
Commentary:
Sanjaya describes the reaction of Arjuna upon hearing the instructions and guidance of Lord Krishna. Arjuna, deeply affected by Krishna’s words, becomes overwhelmed with emotion and fear. He trembles and his voice becomes choked as he realizes the magnitude of the situation and the responsibility that lies ahead.
Arjuna, acknowledging the divinity and wisdom of Krishna, expresses his reverence by folding his hands in a gesture of respect. Feeling a mix of fear, awe, and devotion, Arjuna repeatedly offers his obeisance to Krishna. This act of bowing down signifies his surrender and submission to the will of the Lord. Arjuna’s humility and reverence towards Krishna demonstrate his willingness to seek guidance and follow the path of righteousness.
This verse portrays the profound impact of Krishna’s teachings on Arjuna. It highlights the intensity of the emotional and spiritual journey that Arjuna undergoes as he prepares to face the challenges ahead.
