सञ्जय उवाच

तं तथा कृपयाऽविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम् ।
विषीदन्तमिदं वाक्यमुवाच मधुसूदनः ।।

sañjaya uvāca

taṃ tathā kṛpayā'viṣṭamaśrupūrṇākulekṣaṇam ।
viṣīdantamidaṃ vākyamuvāca madhusūdanaḥ ।।
मधुसूदन - killer of demon madhu, तथा - thus, कृपया - compassion, आविष्टं - enveloped, अश्रु - tears, पूर्णा - fully, आकुल​ - filled with, ईक्षणम् - eyes, विषीदन्तं - despairing, तं - to that arjuna, इदं - these, वाक्यं - words, उवाच - told
sañjaya describes again the start of 2nd adhyaya.

It means that no one else spoke anything of importance between the last shloka of previous chapter & first shloka of this chapter
Arjuna was overflowing with compassion (as already described in 1st chapter) & as a result, was in tears. He put down his famous bow kāṇḍīva​ & surrendered unto Krishna. The killer of demon Madhu started speaking..
madhusūdana shabda here denotes killer of madhu-kaitapa as well as the slayer of rajas & tamo gunas. (Which particularly got hold of Arjuna in the most crucial moment)

अर्जुन उवाच

ज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन ।
तत्किं कर्मणि घोरे मां नियोजयसि केशव ।।
व्यामिश्रेणेव वाक्येन बुद्धिं मोहयसीव मे ।
तदेकं वद निश्िचत्य येन श्रेयोऽहमाप्नुयाम् ।।
jyāyasī cetkarmaṇaste matā buddhirjanārdana ।
tatkiṃ karmaṇi ghore māṃ niyojayasi keśava ।।

vyāmiśreṇeva vākyena buddhiṃ mohayasīva me।
tadekaṃ vada niśicatya yena śreyo'hamāpnuyām।।

There lived a brahmana by name Devasharma in the south. He lived an ideal life following his household duties (tretagni upasana, bhagavad aradhana, helping atithi etc..). He also performed many yajna-s with utmost shraddha
Even after leading an ideal life, his mind was at great unease. He was very disturbed & wanted a solution to it

He went to a nearby forest where tapasvi-s were meditating. He did all kind of sushrusha (service) to them & finally one managed to tell his problem to one of them
That rishi suggested him to meet a cow-herder by name Mitravan in a place called Punya near Godavari Banks.

Devasharma met him at a grazing land in Punya-nagari. His face was absolutely shining & radiating with great calm.
