सञ्जय उवाच - एवमुक्त्वा हृषीकेशं गुडाकेशः परन्तपः। न योत्स्य इति गोविन्दमुक्त्वा तूष्णीं बभूव ह॥
sanjaya uvacha - evam uktva hrishikesham gudakeshah parantapah na yotsya iti govindam uktva tushnim babhuva ha
Translation
Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus to Krishna, Arjuna the scorcher of enemies said, 'I will not fight,' and fell silent.
Commentary
Arjuna declares his final position - absolute refusal to fight - and then falls silent. His silence creates the space for Krishna to begin his transformative teaching. True learning begins in silence.
