Original Sanskrit · सञ्जयः
सञ्जय उवाच
एतच्छ्रुत्वा वचनं केशवस्य
कृताञ्जलिर्वेपमानः किरीटी
नमस्कृत्वा भूय एवाऽऽह कृष्णं
सगद्गदं भीतभीतः प्रणम्य
॥ 11.35 ॥
etacchrutvā vacanaṃ keśavasya
kṛtāñjalirvepamānaḥ kirīṭī
namaskṛtvā bhūya evā''ha kṛṣṇaṃ
sagadgadaṃ bhītabhītaḥ praṇamya
Translation
Sanjaya said: "Hearing these words of Keshava, Kiriti (Arjuna), trembling, with joined palms, bowed down, and, greatly afraid, bowing low, spoke again to Krishna in a choked voice —"
Interpretation
Shankaracharya — Sanjaya's intention. sagadgadaṃ bhayāviṣṭasya duḥkhābhighātāt snehāviṣṭasya ca harṣodbhavāt — his voice was choked both by the pain of fear and by the joy of affection; and a remarkable explanation: atra avasare saṃjayavacanaṃ sābhiprāyam — Sanjaya's speaking at this moment has a purpose: once Drona and the other three are conquered, nirāśrayaḥ duryodhanaḥ — Duryodhana is left without support; iti matvā dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ jayaṃ prati nirāśaḥ san saṃdhiṃ kariṣyati, tataḥ śāntiḥ ubhayeṣāṃ bhaviṣyati — realising this, Dhritarashtra, losing hope of victory, will make peace, and there will be peace on both sides; tad api na aśrauṣīt dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ bhavitavyavaśāt — but Dhritarashtra did not listen even to this.
Acharya Ramanuja. āśritavātsalyajaladheḥ keśavasya vacanaṃ śrutvā; bhītabhītaḥ atibhītaḥ.
