sañjaya uvāca . taṃ tathā kṛpayāviṣṭamaśrupūrṇākulekṣaṇam . viṣīdantamidaṃ vākyamuvāca madhusūdanaḥ
サンジャヤは言った：このように慈悲に満たされ、涙で潤み乱れた目をし、意気消沈している彼（アルジュナ）に、マドゥスーダナ（クリシュナ）は次の言葉を述べた。
Sanjaya said To him who had been thus filled with pity, whose eyes were filled with tears and showed distress, and who was sorrowing, Madhusudana uttered these words:
サンジャヤは、アルジュナが深い悲しみと慈悲に打ちひしがれ、戦意を喪失している様子をドリタラーシュトラ王に報告しています。この状況が、クリシュナがアルジュナにギーターの教えを説き始めるきっかけとなります。
. Sanjaya said To him (Arjuna) who was thus possessed by compassion, whose eyes were confused and filled with tears and who was sinking in despondency, Madhusudana told this [following] sentence.
