Explicación

Arjuna describes his distress in physical terms. His limbs sink, his mouth dries, his body shakes and his hair bristles. These are the signs of acute shock, and the Gita lets them be named plainly. The great archer, who a few verses ago raised his bow with confidence, now finds his own body failing him. The verse shows that his crisis is not an abstract doubt but something felt through his whole being, which is why the answer Krishna gives must also reach beyond argument alone.
