संजय उवाच
एवमुक्त्वार्जुन: संख्ये रथोपस्थ उपाविशत् ।
विसृज्य सशरं चापं शोक-संविग्न-मानस: ।। १.४७ ।।

Sañjay uvāca
evamuktvā-arjunaḥ saṁkhye rathopastha upāviśat ।
visṛjya saśaraṁ cāpam śoka-saṁvigna-mānasaḥ ।। 1.47 ।।

     

 Sanjaya said:
Having said this, Arjuna sat on the seat of the
chariot, after laying down his bow and arrow,
with his mind immersed in grief.

Note: Implications of the scene are quite broad and everrelevant.
No human will have the desired full strength
and resolve, if he believes in the efficacy of only material
possessions, power of speech, mind and intelligence as
well as their resources. All these are subject to vacillation
and desertion. The real strength for the human is from the
Soul within, the one entity we refer to with the term ‘I’.
The earlier this is recognized and acted upon, the better.
