श्रीभगवानुवाच — अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे। गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः॥
sri bhagavan uvacha — ashochyanvashocas tvam prajnavadamsh cha bhashase gatasun agatasumsh cha nanushochanti panditah
Translation
The Supreme Lord said: You grieve for those who should not be grieved for, yet you speak words of wisdom. The truly wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead.
Commentary
Krishna's teaching begins with a gentle rebuke — Arjuna speaks like a wise man but grieves like an ignorant one. True wisdom means understanding that the soul is eternal and beyond death.
