Bhagavad Gita 1.4
Sanskrit
अत्र शूरा महेष्वासा भीमार्जुनसमा युधि। युयुधानो विराटश्च द्रुपदश्च महारथः।।1.4।।
Transliteration
atra śhūrā maheṣhvāsā bhīmārjuna-samā yudhi yuyudhāno virāṭaśhcha drupadaśhcha mahā-rathaḥ
In plain words
You're standing at a crossroads, and all you can see are the obstacles—the people blocking you, the reasons why you can't, the weight of what's expected. The lesson for you: stop counting the enemies and start seeing the sacred duty in front of you. When you know who you are and what you're meant to do, the fear and anger lose their grip.
हिंदी अर्थ
यहाँ महान योद्धा हैं जो धनुष-बाण में बहुत निपुण हैं और युद्ध में भीम-अर्जुन के समान शक्तिशाली हैं। युयुधान, विराट और महान रथी द्रुपद भी यहाँ मौजूद हैं।
Word by Word
Krishna begins to paint the battlefield not as a scene of destruction, but as a gathering of dharma's greatest defenders—each warrior named carries the weight of righteousness. Yet notice: Arjuna sees only names and numbers, not the sacred duty each represents.
When we face our own conflicts, we too often see only obstacles rather than the call to fulfill our purpose with integrity.
