Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 1
Kapidhvajah:-By using this epithet 'Kapidhvajah', Sanjaya wants to remind Dhrtarastra of Hanuman, sitting on the banner of Arjuna's chariot. When Pandavas used to live in the forest, one day suddenly, the wind dropped a divine lotus having a thousand leaves before Draupadi. She was very much pleased to see it, and she said to Bhima, "O excellent among the brave, bring me several lotuses of this kind." Bhima, started to satisfy her desire. When he reached the Kadali forest, he happened to meet Hanuman. Both of them talked about many things. At last Hanuman desired to grant him a boon. Bhima said, "May your kindness continue to be with me!" Hanuman said, "0 son of wind-god, when uneasy by being injured with arrows and weapons, enter the army of the enemy and make a roar, I'll enhance that roar by adding my own power to it. Moreover, by sitting on the banner of Arjuna's chariot I'll make such a roar, that it will be deadly terrifying to your enemy, and you will gain a victory, over them and kill them very easily."[1]Therefore, the victory of those, on whose banner Hanurman was sitting, was certain.
