Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 1 Text 10

<div class= >

Here is a comparison between the two armies. The "good" army and the "evil" army. The pandavas were not stronger in power but they had Krischna (the good) on their side, and that was very frightening for Duryodhana.

Observing the Armies on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra

SANSKRIT TEXT 10

aparyaptam tad asmakam
balam bhismabhiraksitam
paryaptam tv idam etesam
balam bhimabhiraksitam

TRANSLATION

Our strength is immeasurable, and we are perfectly protected by Grandfather Bhisma, whereas the strength of the Pandavas, carefully protected by Bhima, is limited.

SHORT EXPLANATION

Duryodhana compares the strength between the General Bhisma and general, Bhima. General Bhisma is the grandfather of Duryodhana and is the most experienced warrior. Duryodhana was always envious and afraid of Bhima, the leader of the Pandavas, in the end only Bhima can kill Duryodhana.

About the Bhagavad Gita

Bhagavad Gita literally means "Song of the Lord". The Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita are two books from Indian history. Mahabharata is the name of the war that is being fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. Kauravas are the symbol of negative and the Pandavas are the symbol of the positive. The book is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. This dialogue sets out three ways in which man can achieve salvation of this earthly life. These roads are: karma yoga, bhakti yoga and gyan yoga. Bhagavad Gita is the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads and 5,000 + years old.

Note

There are many translations and as many interpretations of the verses.
I use the translation by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from the Sanskrit to the Englisch.
Prabhupada is the founder acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)

I lived in a Hare Krishna ashram for three years and know this book quite well. There were Sanskrit verses that I knew from my mind but that's worn out. More of my posts on Vaishnavism.
