श्रीमद भगवद्गीता
with English translation
अध्याय-१ अर्जुनविषादयोता
Chapter - 1 Arjuna Vishad Yoga
The first Chapter of Gita contains 47 verses of which
27 verses contain the preliminaries of the actual war, while 20 verses are about the condition of Arjuna's dejection as he became mentally disturbed at the idea of immense destruction and ruin of the family if the war
proceeded. It is for this reason that the first chapter is
named "Arjuna Vishad Yoga"

मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय ॥ १ ॥ Dhrutrastra said
