Chapter 1: Arjuna's Dilemmaअर्जुनविषादयोग
1:29
“My whole body is trembling, my hair is standing on end, my bow Gandiva is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning.”
Sanskrit
वेपथुश्च शरीरे मे रोमहर्षश्च जायते | गाण्डीवं स्रंसते हस्तात्त्वक्चैव परिदह्यते ||
Transliteration
vepathuś ca śarīre me roma-harṣaś ca jāyate gāṇḍīvaṁ sraṁsate hastāt tvak caiva paridahyate
Commentary
More physical symptoms manifest: trembling, horripilation, weakness, and burning sensation. These are classic signs of acute anxiety and moral distress in the face of an impossible situation.
