तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत। सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः॥
tam uvacha hrishikeshah prahasann iva bharata senayorubhayor madhye vishidantam idam vachah
Translation
O Bharata (Dhritarashtra), to him who was grieving between the two armies, Hrishikesha (Krishna), as if smiling, spoke these words.
Commentary
Krishna smiles gently before speaking — not mocking Arjuna, but expressing the serene confidence of one who sees the complete truth. His smile reassures that there is a way out of this crisis.
