Bhagavad Gita

Sanjaya said: 

20-22

Echoed the gong of sounds 

On earth and in heaven alike

The roar fatigued the hearts 

Of Dhartharashtra’s all alike.

Then to survey the battle field 

Arjuna - the monkey flagged

Ready with his bow in hand 

Got up as to start the war.

And thus spake to Hrishikesa

Following words Oh Great King!

      The great war cries of the soldiers seemed to resonate all heaven and earth alike.  Also, the same sounds created a shudder in the heart of the blind king Dritharashta. The King began to sense failure for his sons.  

    Then Arjuna was ready to start the war. He wanted to see his opponents. He was wearing his bow and arrows in a chariot with a flag marked with a monkey on it. Arjuna requested his charioteer Krishna thus..

     The war is proclaimed. The great warrior Arjuna wanted to see his opponents.  War is imminent and fate  of the soldiers are in uncertainty.

     The soldiers never think of death until they face it. Life is uncertain so Submission to God is the only hope in such situations.
