Chapter-2
Sankhya and Yoga
Even as in summer the mountain is scorched by conflagration, so Arjuna, the supreme archer, had become torn with grief. Therefore, Lord Krishna, overflowing with the nectar of pity, turned towards him like a blue cloud, with his flashing teeth looking like lightening and his sonorous speech like rumbling thunder. Now hear how that generous cloud (Krishna) will pour and soothe the mountain (Arjuna) and produce shoots of wisdom in him. Listen to this story for the solace of your mind, so says Jnanadeva, disciple of Nivritti (76-80). Sanjaya said: 9. Having thus addressed Krishna, O scorcher of the foes, Arjuna said to Govinda (Krishna), “I shall not fight” and became silent. Sanjaya said, O king, listen to what the grief-stricken Partha said. He said to Lord Krishna, “Pray, do not press me further, I will not fight; about this my mind is settled.” Saying this all at once, he remained silent. Lord Krishna was amazed to see him in that condition.
