Bhagavad Gita · Arjuna Vishada YogaAdhyaay 1, Shloka 46 (1.46)

Charam bindu. Arjuna ki yatra dekhiye: 1.20 mein dhanush uthaaya; 1.31 mein "kalyaan nahin dikhta"; 1.35 mein "ve maarein to bhi nahin maarunga"; aur ab — "ve mujhe nihatthe maar dein, wahi behtar." Yeh pratirodh ka poorn tyaag hai.

Madhusudana ki vyakhya — teen bindu:

1. "Ahimsa, praanon se bhi badhkar, praaniyon ka param dharma hai" — isliye paap se bachne ke liye jeevan ki apeksha maran Arjuna ko zyaada hitkaari lagta hai.
2. Apratīkāram ka ek arth: apne praan bachaane ka koi prayatn na karne wala.
3. Doosra arth: bandhu-vadh ke nishchay maatra se lage dosh ka, anya kisi prayashchitt ke bina — yaani Arjuna maano soch rahe hain ki praan dena hi is iraade ka prayashchitt (shuddhi) hoga.

Teesra bindu bahut gehra hai: 1.45 mein Arjuna ne apne iraade ko paap kaha tha; ab woh us paap ki shuddhi apne maran mein dekhte hain.

"Kṣemataram" — zyaada kalyaankaari. Arjuna "sukh" ya "aasaan" nahin kehte; woh kshema — kalyaan, suraksha, hit — shabd chunte hain. Unke liye nihatthe maara jaana naitik roop se surakshit raasta hai — kyunki tab haath par apno ka khoon nahin hoga.

Ek gambhir sanket — aatma-tyaag ki ichchha. Arjuna ka yeh vaakya ek aisi sthiti ko darshaata hai jahaan vyakti ko apna mit jaana "behtar" lagne lagta hai. Gita ise ek naitik-dharmik sankat ke roop mein prastut karti hai, aur Krishna ka poora updesh Arjuna ko is sthiti se nikaalkar sthir buddhi aur kartavya ki or le jaata hai.
