Arjuna Vishada Yoga
Arjuna faces a moral crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, torn between duty and compassion. His despair sets the stage for Krishna's divine teachings.
Nimittani ca pashyami viparitani keshava, na ca shreyo 'nupashyami hatva svajanam ahave
I see only adverse omens, O Krishna, and I do not foresee any good from killing my own kinsmen in battle.

Sanjaya uvaca: Evam uktva arjunah sankhye rathopastha upavishat, visrijya sa-sharam capam shoka-samvigna-manasah
Having spoken thus, Arjuna cast aside his bow and arrows and sat down on the chariot seat, his mind overwhelmed with grief.
