Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 1: Arjuna's Despair

Bhagavad Gita 1.14

ततः श्वेतैर्हयैर्युक्ते महति स्यन्दने स्थितौ । माधवः पाण्डवश्चैव दिव्यौ शङ्खौ प्रदध्मतुः ॥

tataḥ śvetairhayairyukte mahati syandane sthitau | mādhavaḥ pāṇḍavaścaiva divyau śaṅkhau pradadhmatuḥ ||

Then Krishna and Arjuna, standing in a great chariot yoked to white horses, blew their divine conches.

Modern context

The camera, so to speak, now turns to one chariot: a warrior and beside him the friend who has agreed to drive. The teacher of the Gita enters the story not on a throne but holding the reins, in the place of service.
