1.20 Eng. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 Shlok 20 | Arjuna Raises His Bow and Speaks to Krishna

In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 Shlok 20, Sanjaya describes a powerful moment on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. As Arjuna sees the sons of Dhritarashtra standing ready for battle, and the war is about to begin, he lifts his bow and prepares himself. At that moment, Arjuna speaks to Shri Krishna, who is guiding his chariot. This shlok marks an important turning point. Until now, the focus was on armies, warriors, conches, and war signals.
