keśhava

निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव

keśhava — Shree Krishna, killer of the Keshi demon

And I see the omens are against us, Krishna. I foresee nothing good in killing my own people in battle.

स्थितप्रज्ञस्य का भाषा समाधिस्थस्य केशव

keśhava — Shree Krishna, killer of the Keshi Demon

What is one of steady wisdom like, Krishna, one established in stillness? How does such a person speak?

ज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन

keśhava — Krishna, the killer of the demon named Keshi

If understanding is better than action, Krishna, why do you urge me into this terrible work?

सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव

keśhava — Shree Krishna, the killer of the demon named Keshi

I hold all this that you say to me to be true, Krishna. Neither the gods nor the demons know your appearing.

एतच्छ्रुत्वा वचनं केशवस्य कृताञ्जलिर्वेपमानः किरीटी

keśhavasya — of Shree Krishna

Hearing these words of Krishna, Arjuna joined his palms, trembling, bowed down, and spoke again — stammering, in great fear.

प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव क्षेत्रं क्षेत्रज्ञमेव च

keśhava — Krishna, the killer of the demon named Keshi

Nature and the person, the field and the knower of the field, knowledge and what is to be known — these I wish to understand, Krishna.

राजन्संस्मृत्य संस्मृत्य संवादमिममद्भुतम्

keśhava-arjunayoḥ — between Lord Shree Krishna and Arjun

O king, recalling again and again this wonderful and holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I rejoice again and again.
