तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत | सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः
tamuvāca hṛṣīkeśaḥ prahasanniva bhārata . senayorubhayormadhye viṣīdantamidaṃ vacaḥ
婆羅多後裔啊！赫利希克沙（奎師那）彷彿帶著微笑，對那在兩軍之間悲傷的阿周那說了這些話：
O descendant of Bharata, to him who was sorrowing between the two armies, Hrsikesa, mocking as it were, said these words:
奎師那以一種看似微笑的態度，對陷入絕望的阿周那開口，這預示著他將以超然的智慧來引導阿周那走出困境。
. O descendant of Bharata (O Dhrtarastra) ! Hrsikesa, as if [he was] smiling, spoke to him who was sinking in despondency in between two armies.
