VISRIJYAH SASHARM CHAPAM SHOKA-SAMVIGNA-MANASAH (46)

MEANING

Sanjay said: Arjuna having thus spoken on the battlefield put aside his bow and arrows and sat down on the chariot with his mind overwhelmed with brief

EXPLANATION

In all above verses we can see the grief and unwillingness of Arjuna to fight in the war. He analyses the consequences of the war the tragic situations which would be created after the war, and also he give us the consequences of war on the society where many will be homeless, fatherless and other modes of disintegration of family. Then he says that how he can commit such sinful acts where he will be responsible for all this. Arjuna even wants to leave the enjoyment of royalty to save all this. In the end he puts aside his Gandiva and shows complete reluctance from the war. We can see the extreme of this in the verse 45 where he even decides that even if he is attacked by enemies unarmed and unwilling he would not fight. All this is due to the soft heartedness of Bhagvad Bhakta Arjuna.
Note:-Thus the explanation and meaning of  ShriMad-Bhagvad-Gita chapter 1  as per my consciousness and limited knowledge ends. many apologies if there is any mistake of any nature are there. May I ask almighty to forgive me for that.

MEANING

If we kill these aggressors sin will overpower us, therefore it is not wise to kill the sons of Dhratrashtra and our own kinsmen. O Krishna ,O husband of Goddess of fortune what we will gain and how we will be happy by killing our own friends and relatives.

Although these men, their hearts are overtaken by greed, where they see no fault in killing one's family or quarreling with friends, the why should we who can see the crime in destroying the families should engage in this act of sin O Janardana.

with the destruction of the dynasty the eternal family traditions are vanquished, and thus the rest of the family becomes irreligious. O Krishna this makes the women of family immoral and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vrishni comes unwanted progeny.

O Madhusudana  when teachers, fathers, sons, grandsons, grandfathers, maternal uncles, father in laws, brother in laws and other relatives are ready to give up their lives and properties and are standing before me, why should I wish to kill them, even though they might otherwise kill me? O maintainer of all living entities, I am not prepared to fight with them even in exchange for the three worlds, let alone this earth. What pleasure will we derive from killing the sons of Dhratrashtra?

NIMITTANI CH PASHYAAMI VIPRITAANI KESHAV

MEANING

I am now unable to stand here any longer, I am forgetting myself, and my mind is reeling. I see only causes of misfortune, O Krishna, killer of Kesi Demon.

EXPLANATION

When Arjuna saw his relatives and friends his attachment towards them surfaced out and also he being a true devote of Lord Krishna was very kind and always against the war. Due to this he became sympathetic towards everyone he saw in the battle field. He felt compassion even for the soldiers of thr opposite army foreseeing their imminent death and while he was so thinking his body started shivering, his mouth became dry. His hairs started standing on end even his bow Gandiva started slipping out of his hand. Here Arjuna seems to be showing material attachment but in fact it is not the kind of ordinary material attachment, but in fact it is the kindness towards the people fighting in the war. Due to his impatience he was unable to stand on the battle field. Thus he speaks to the lord that he is foreseeing only misfortune for all those participating in the war. Lord has been named her Keshava Because Lord has killed the Demon Kesi.

MEANING

Sanjay said O descendant of king Bharata, now having been addressed by Arjuna, lord Krishna Drew up the fine chariot in the midst of the armies of the both parties.

EXPLANATION

Lord Krishna the supreme Godhead is himself friend and relative of Arjuna, what more to say God is himself the Charioteer of his supreme devotee Arjuna. Arjuna is addressed here as gudakesha because he has conquered the sleep which is none other thing then ignorance because Arjuna never forgets his lord the supreme Godhead Krishna even for a moment not even when he is sleeping. that is why all the ignorance or negativity of Arjuna has been vanished by the Lord Himself. As a hrishikesha or the director of the  senses Krishna could understand Arjuna's purpose in placing the chariot in the midst of armies.

MEANING

     Now after inspecting the armies of both sides Arjuna, the son of Pandu seated in the chariot bearing the flag marked with Hanuman, took up his bow and prepared to shoot for arrows. O king after looking at the sons of Dhratrashtra drawn in military formation, Arjuna then addresses to Lord Krishna these words.

      O infallible one please draw my chariot between the two armies so that I may see those present here, who desire to fight and with whom I must contend in this great trial of arms. let me see those who have come here to fight, wishing to please the evil minded son of Dhratrashtra.

EXPLANATION

     It can be easily understood that the battle was about to begin as it is being narrated by Sanjay. It is evident from what Sanjay said the sons of Dhratrashtra have become disheartened by seeing the unexpected and expert military arrangement of the Pandavas. More over there is direct intervention of Lord Krishna who is directly guiding Arjuna. The emblem of Hanuman is another sign of victory as Rama is Krishna and Rama is always accompanied by Hanuman also the goddess of fortune is also with Arjuna because she is always with Lord Krishna being his Wife. Thus there are all the signs of victory present. And at this moment Arjuna addresses Lord Krishna as infallible because He never fails in His affection for his devotees and always showers His causeless mercy over his devotees.

     This can be well understood as He being the Godhead he is  playing the role of a charioteer without any hesitation. His Supreme position is not challenged by any circumstances. his Supremacy is even maintained when in the childhood he was tied to tree by mother Yashoda . These are the amazing and transcendental deeds by the Lord Krishna. He takes greater pleasure in his pure devotee's assuming the advantageous position of ordering him than he does in being the giver of orders. 

     As a pure devotee of the lord Arjuna had no desire to fight with his cousins and brothers, but he was forced to come onto the battlefield by the obstinacy of Duryodhana, who defies all peaceful negotiations. So he asks the Lord to take him to the mid of battle field where he can see all those present to fight in this great battle the battle which have been destined just by the ill will of Duryodhana.
