  Speaker 1: Chapter one, Arjuna vishad Territarashtra ranged thus for battle on
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the sacred plain on karuk Schetra. Say Sanjaya, say what
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: wrought my people and the pandavas Sonjaya, when he beheld
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the host of Pandavas Raja Duryodhana to Drona drew and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: spake these words, Ah Guru, see this line, how vast
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it is of Pandu fighting men in battled by the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: son of Drupada, thy scholar in the war. Therein stands
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: ranked chiefs like Arjuna, like to Bima, chiefs, benders of bows,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Virata YuYu, dang Drupada eminent upon his car trish Ta
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: kate ChEI, Kitan Kasi's stout lord, Purujit Kunti poj and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Shaivah with Udhamanyu and Uttamauj Subadrara's child and Rao Padis,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all famed, all mounted on their shining chariots. On our
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: side too, Thou best of Brahmans, see excellent chiefs commanders
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of my line, whose names I joy to count thyself
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the first. Then Bhishma, Karna Kripa fierce and fight Vikarna
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Ashwataman next to those strong Saumadati with full many more
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: valiant and tried, ready this day to die for me
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: their king, each with his weapon grasped, each skillful in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the field weakest mesims. Our battle shows where Bhishma holds
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: command and Biemah fronting him, something too strong. Have care
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: our captain's nigh to Bhishma's ranks. Prepare what help they
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: may now blow my shell. Then, at the signal of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the aged king, with blair to wake the blood rolling
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: round like to a lion's roar, the trumpeter blew the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: great counch, and at the noise of it, trumpets and drums,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: cymbals and gongs and horns burst into sudden clamor as
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the blasts of loosened tempests. Such the tumult seemed then
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: might be seen upon their car of gold, yoked with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: white steeds, blowing their battle shells. Krushna, the god Arjuna
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at his side. Krushna, with knotted locks, blew his great counch,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: carved of the giant's bone. Arjuna blue u Injur's loud gift. Bima,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the terrible wolf bellied Bma blew a long reed conch Yudhishtira,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Kunti's blameless son winded a mighty shell, victory's voice and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: nakula blue shrill upon his counch named the sweet sounding
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Sahadev on his called gem bedecked, and Kasi's prints on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: his Sikandi on his car. Drishtadyum Verrata Sotaki, the unsubdued
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Drupara with his sons, o Lord of Earth long armed.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Supadra's children all blew loud, so that the clangers shook
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: their foemen's hearts with quaking earth and thundering heaven. Then
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: twas beholding Dritrashtra's battle set weapons, unsheathing bows drawn forth
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the war instant to break. Arjuna, whose ensign badge was Hanuman.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: The Monkey, spake this thing to Khrushna the Divine. His
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: charioteer drive dauntless one to yonder open ground betwixt the armies.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I would see more nigh those who will fight with us,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: those we must slay today, and wars our bitriment for
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: sure on bloodshed. All are bent who thronged this plane,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: obeying dart Rastro's sinful son. Thus Bararjuna prayed o barrata
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: between the hosts. That heavenly charioteer drove the bright car
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: raining its milk white steeds, where Bhishma led and Drona
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and their lords see. Spake he to Arjuna, where they
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: stand thy kindred of the Kurus and the prince marked
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on each hand, the kinsmen of his house, grandsires and sires,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: uncles and brothers and sons, cousins and son in law
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and nephews, mix'd with friends and honored elders, some this side,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: some that side, ranged, and seeing those opposed such kith
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: grown enemies, Arjuna's heart melted with pity while he uttered
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this Khrushna, as I behold, come here to shed their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: common blood yon concourse of our kin. My members fail,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: My tongue dries in my mouth, A shudder thrills my body,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and my hair bristles with horror. From my weak hand
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: slips Gondhiv the goodly beau. A fever burns my skin,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: deparching hardly. May I stand? The life within me seems
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to swim and faint. Nothing do I foresee, save woe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and wail. It is not good, Okayshove, not of good
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: can spring from mutual slaughter. Lo I hate triumph and domination,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: wealth and ease thus sadly won. Oh ho, what victory
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can bring delight Golvinda? What rich spoils could profit? What
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: rule recompense? What span of life itself seems sweet bought
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: with such blood? Seeing that these stand here ready to die,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for whose sake life was fair and pleasure pleased and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: power grew precious grandsires, sires and sons, brothers and fathers
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in law and sons in law, elders and friends. Shall
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ideal death on these, even though they seek to slay us?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Not one blow, Oh Marhusudana, will I strike to gain
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the rule of all three worlds? Then? How much less
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to seize an earthly kingdom? Killing These must breed but
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: anguish krushna. If they be guilty, we shall grow guilty
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: by their deaths. Their sins will light on us. If
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we shall slay those sons of dart Rastra and our kin,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: what peace could come of that? O Mahdava. For if indeed,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: blinded by lust and wrath, these cannot see or will
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not see the sin of kingly lines o'er throne and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: kinsmen slain, How should not we who see shun such
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a crime, we who perceive the guilt and feel the shame.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Oh thou delight of men Janardana by overthrow of houses
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: perisheth their sweet continuous household piety and rites neglected piety
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: extinct enters impiety. Upon that home, its women grow unwomaned.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Whence there's spring mad passions and the mingling up of casts,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sending a hell ward road that family, and whoso wrought
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: its doom by wicked wrath nay, and the souls of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: honored ancestors fall from their place of peace, being bereft
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of funeral cakes and the wan death water. So teach
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: our holy hymns. Thus, if we slay kinsfolk and friends
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: for love of earthly power, ou of yet what an
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: evil fault it were better? I deem it. If my
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: kinsmen strike to face them, weaponless and bear my breast
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to shaft and spear, then answer blow with blow. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: speaking in the face of those two hosts, Otrojunah sank
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: upon his chariot seat and let fall bow and arrows.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Sick at heart. Here endeth chapter one of the Boghavadgita
