Translations
To him who was despondent in the midst of the two armies, Krishna, smiling, O Bharata, spoke these words.
Thereupon, the Lord, with a gracious smile, addressed him who was so much depressed in the midst of the two armies.
O descendant of Bharata, Hrsikesa, mocking as it were, said these words to him who was sorrowing between the two armies:
हे भरतवंशोद्भव धृतराष्ट्र! दोनों सेनाओंके मध्यभागमें विषाद करते हुए उस अर्जुनके प्रति हँसते हुए-से भगवान् हृषीकेश यह (आगे कहे जानेवाले) वचन बोले।
