Chapter-11
The Universal Form
33. Stand up, therefore, and win renown; conquer your foes and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They have already been killed by Me; be you merely the instrument, O ambidextrous (Arjuna). I have already destroyed the power on which their physical activities are sustained. All these warriors are now lifeless like the clay figures in a potter’s home. Just as when the string by which the puppets dance snaps, they fall down by the merest touch, so you will be able to shatter your enemy’s army without loss of time. Therefore, O Arjuna, come to your senses and rise up. At the time of capture of Virata’s cattle by the Trigartas, you benumbed the enemy’s army by your magical missile and disrobed them at the hands of Uttara, faint-hearted son of Virata. That army has now become impotent and has come here ready for war. Destroy it now and earn eternal glory, so that people will say ‘Arjuna, single handed, has vanquished the army (466-470)’. And this will not be a mere victory, but will bring with it the entire kingdom. O Arjuna, be a mere instrument in My hand. |
