(Arjuna to Krishna)

Krishna, all my bandhus have gathered here, eager for beginning of the battle. Upon seeing them, my organs(angAs) are withering, my face is drying up, body is shivering. I am getting goosebumps all over.

My famed gANDiva bow is slipping from my hands. My body's outer skin is getting burned. Leave alone battling, there's not an iota of strength in me to even stand now. My mind is fast swirling & I am unable to control it

Arjuna is now completely overcome by emotions (parayAvishta:) & is even ready to desert the battlefield
