💡 Meaning

The Gandiva bow is slipping from my hand, my skin is burning all over, and my mind is reeling as if in a whirl; I am unable even to stand.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar captures the profound psychological collapse of Arjuna. The sight of his kinsmen on the battlefield triggers a deep emotional conflict, manifesting as physical symptoms. His legendary bow, the Gandiva, slips from his grasp, symbolizing a loss of will and strength. The 'burning of skin' represents the intense internal heat generated by anxiety. His mind is so clouded by delusion (Moha) that he loses his sense of balance and stability. This illustrates how deep emotional distress can paralyze even the strongest of individuals, turning a warrior into a person seeking refuge.

🎯 Practical Application

This verse teaches us how extreme stress affects the body and mind. For example, during a high-pressure interview or public speaking event, one might feel shaky or forgetful; recognizing this as a temporary emotional state helps in regaining composure through mindfulness.

📌 Context

Arjuna describes his physical symptoms of anxiety and emotional breakdown to Krishna upon seeing his relatives on the battlefield.
