Chapter-18
Release
O king, both heaven and liberation will be subservient to him, who has Lord Krishna and goddess Lakshmi as his parents. So all miraculous powers will favour willingly that party which is backed by them. I know this much and nothing more. The cloud is more beneficial than its progenitor, the sea. Similar is the case of Arjuna. The philosopher’s stone (the preceptor) transforms iron (the disciple) into gold, but all the transactions of the world are carried on the basis of gold. Because of this, one need not attribute an inferior status to the preceptor. Fire transforms itself into a lamp and gives light (1646-1650). In the same way, through the power of God, Arjuna became better than God and so to praise him, enhances the glory of God. Every father wishes that his son should surpass him in all qualities and that very desire bore fruit in the case of Lord Krishna – Nay, O King, that party, which has on its side Partha, who has received the favour of Lord Krishna, is bound to win victory in this war. Why should you have any doubt about it? If that party would not win this war, then victory itself would be meaningless. So wherever there is goddess of wealth, her Lord and Partha, the son of Pandu, there is bound to be victory and prosperity (1651-1655). |
