battle shows where Bhishma holds command; And Bhima; fronting him; 

something   too   strong!   Have   care   our   captains   nigh   to   Bhishma's   ranks 

Prepare what help they may! Now; blow my shell!〃 

     Then;   at   the   signal   of   the   aged   king;   With   blare   to   wake   the   blood; 

rolling around Like to a lion's roar; the trumpeter Blew the great Conch; 

and; at the noise of it; Trumpets and drums; cymbals and gongs and horns 

Burst   into   sudden   clamour;   as   the   blasts   Of   loosened   tempest;   such   the 

tumult   seemed!   Then   might   be   seen;   upon   their   car   of   gold Yoked   with 

white   steeds;  blowing   their   battle…shells;   Krishna   the   God; Arjuna   at   his 

side:   Krishna;   with   knotted   locks;   blew   his   great   conch   Carved   of   the 

〃Giant's bone;〃 Arjuna blew Indra's loud gift; Bhima the terrible Wolf… 

bellied Bhima…blew a long reed…conch; And Yudhisthira; Kunti's blameless 

son;   Winded   a   mighty   shell;   〃Victory's   Voice;〃   And   Nakula   blew   shrill 

upon      his    conch     Named       the   〃Sweet…sounding;〃          Sahadev      on    his 

Called〃Gem…bedecked;〃   and   Kasi's   Prince   on   his。   Sikhandi   on   his   car; 

Dhrishtadyumn; Virata;   Satyaki   the   Unsubdued;   Drupada;   with   his   sons;

                              The Bhagavad…Gita; translated 



(O Lord of Earth!) Long…armed Subhadra's children; all blew loud; So that 

the    clangour     shook     their   foemen's     hearts;   With     quaking     earth   and 

thundering heav'n。 

     Then 'twas… Beholding Dhritirashtra's battle set; Weapons unsheathing; 

bows   drawn   forth;   the   war   Instant   to   break…Arjun;   whose   ensign…badge 

Was   Hanuman   the   monkey;   spake   this   thing   To   Krishna   the   Divine;   his 

charioteer:   〃Drive;   Dauntless   One!   to   yonder   open   ground   Betwixt   the 

armies;   I   would   see   more   nigh   These   who   will   fight   with   us;   those   we 

must slay To…day; in war's arbitrament; for; sure; On bloodshed all are bent 

who throng this plain; Obeying Dhritirashtra's sinful son。〃 

     Thus; by Arjuna prayed; (O Bharata!) Between the hosts that heavenly 

Charioteer      Drove     the  bright   car;   reining   its  milk…white     steeds    Where 

Bhishma led;and Drona;and their Lords。 〃See!〃 spake he to Arjuna; 〃where 

they   stand;   Thy   kindred   of   the   Kurus:〃   and   the   Prince   Marked   on   each 

hand the kinsmen of his house; Grandsires and sires; uncles and brothers 

and sons; Cousins and sons…in…law and nephews; mixed With friends and 

honoured elders; some this side; Some that side ranged: and; seeing those 

opposed; Such kith grown enemies…Arjuna's heart Melted with pity; while 

he uttered this: 

     Arjuna。 Krishna! as I behold; come here to shed Their common blood; 

yon concourse of our kin; My members fail; my tongue dries in my mouth; 

A   shudder   thrills   my   body;   and   my   hair   Bristles   with   horror;   from   my 

weak     hand    slips  Gandiv;     the  goodly     bow;    a  fever   burns    My   skin   to 

parching; hardly may I stand; The life within me seems to swim and faint; 

Nothing do I foresee save woe and wail! It is not good; O Keshav! nought 

of   good    Can    spring    from    mutual    slaughter!    Lo;   I  hate   Triumph     and 

domination;   wealth   and   ease;   Thus   sadly   won!   Aho!   what   victory   Can 

bring     delight;    Govinda!      what    rich    spoils   Could     profit;   what     rule 

recompense; what span Of life itself seem sweet; bought with such blood? 

Seeing that these stand here; ready to die; For whose sake life was fair; and 

pleasure   pleased; And   power   grew   precious:…grandsires;   sires;   and   sons; 

Brothers; and fathers…in…law; and sons…in…law; Elders and friends! Shall I 

deal death on these Even   though they seek to slay  us? Not one blow;  O 

Madhusudan! will I strike to gain

                             The Bhagavad…Gita; translated 



     The rule of all Three Worlds; then; how much less To seize an earthly 

kingdom! Killing these Must breed but anguish; Krishna! If they be Guilty; 

we shall grow guilty by their deaths; Their sins will light on us; if we shall 

slay Those sons of Dhritirashtra; and our kin; What peace could come of 

that; O Madhava? For if indeed; blinded by lust and wrath; These cannot 

see; or will not see; the sin Of kingly lines o'erthrown and kinsmen slain; 

How should not we; who see; shun such a crime We who perceive the 

guilt   and    feel  the   shame    O   thou    Delight    of  Men;    Janardana?     By 

overthrow   of   houses   perisheth   Their   sweet   continuous   household   piety; 

And…rites   neglected;   piety   extinct   Enters   impiety   upon   that   home;   Its 

women   grow   unwomaned;   whence   there   spring   Mad   passions;   and   the 

mingling…up of castes; Sending a Hell…ward road that family; And whoso 

wrought      its  doom    by  wicked     wrath。   Nay;   and   the  souls   of  honoured 

ancestors Fall from their place of peace; being bereft Of funeral…cakes and 

the   wan   death…water。'FN#1'   So   teach   our   holy   hymns。   Thus;   if   we   slay 

Kinsfolk and friends for love of earthly power; Ahovat! what an evil fault 

it were! Better I deem it; if my kinsmen strike; To face them weaponless; 

and bare my breast To shaft and spear; than answer blow with blow。                      So 

speaking; in the face of those two hosts; Arjuna sank upon his chariot…seat; 

And let fall bow and arrows; sick at heart。

     Sanjaya。 Him; filled with such compassion and such grief; With eyes 

tear…dimmed;   despondent;   in   stern   words   The   Driver;   Madhusudan;   thus 

addressed: 

     Krishna。   How   hath   this   weakness   taken   thee?   Whence   springs   The 

inglorious trouble; shameful to the brave; Barring the path of virtue? Nay; 

Arjun! Forbid thyself to feebleness! it mars Thy warrior…name! cast off the 

coward…fit! Wake! Be thyself! Arise; Scourge of thy Foes! 

     Arjuna。 How can I; in the battle; shoot with shafts On Bhishma; or on 

Drona…O thou Chief! Both worshipful; both honourable men? 

     Better   to   live   on   beggar's   bread    With   those   we   love   alive;   Than 

taste their blood in rich feasts spread;           And guiltily survive! Ah! were it 

worse…who
