Dhrtarastra inquires from Sanjaya about the events of the battle.
O my teacher, behold the great army of the sons of Pandu.
Krishna and Arjuna in the midst of the two armies.
Krishna and Arjuna sounded their transcendental conchshells.
When Arjuna saw all different grades of friends and relatives, he became overwhelmed with compassion.
The insulting of Draupadi.
The Blessed Lord said: The wise lament neither for the living nor the dead.
The soul changes bodies as a person changes garments.
The body changes, but the soul remains the same
Krsna and the living entity are seated on the tree of the body.
While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them.
Be though happy by this sacrifice because its performance will bestow upon you all desirable things.
The demigods, being satisfied by the performance of sacrifice, supply all needs to man.
The living entity is covered by different degrees of lust.
The Blessed Lord first instructed this imperishable science of yoga to Vivasvan.
The Lord descends whenever there is a decline in religious principles.
In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants...
As they surrender to Me, I reward them accordingly.
He who applies himself well to one of these paths achieves the results of both.
The humble sage sees with equal vision.
One should meditate on Me within the heart and make Me the ultimate goal of life.
One should engage oneself in the practice of yoga with undeviating determination and faith.
The mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krishna.
Of all yogis, he who abides in Me with great faith is the highest of al
Krishna's material and spiritual energies.
Four kinds of poius men surrender to Krishna, and four kinds of impious men do not.
When one goes there, he never comes back. That is My supreme abode
Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form
You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate, the supreme abode and purifier.
Know that all these beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
The universal form.
At last Krishna showed Arjuna His two-armed form.
Krishna delivers His unalloyed devotee from the ocean of birth and death.
The three modes of material nature
There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down.
The spiritual and material worlds
The living entity in the material world carries his different conceptions of life as the air carries aromas.
Bewildered by false ego, strength, pride, lust and anger.
Lust, greed, and anger are the three gates leading down to hell.
There are three kinds of faith-that in the mode of goodness, that in passion and that in ignorance.
The place of action, the performer, the senses, the endeavor and ultimately the Supersoul. These are the five factors of action
By worship of the Lord, man can, in the performance of his own duty, become perfect.
Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me
Wherever there is Krishna and Arjuna there will certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power and morality.
