So I heard this wondrous dialogue between Krishna and the great-souled Arjuna, and it makes my hair stand on end.

What it means

We return to Sanjaya, the narrator, speaking to the blind king. He says he has heard this amazing dialogue between Krishna and the great soul Arjuna. And it gives him goosebumps, romaharshanam. The thrill is still running through him.

The story

Sanjaya has been watching from far away through divine sight, describing everything to the blind king. Now, at the end, his own heart is overflowing.

In your life
