Explication

Sanjaya takes up the narration again. Arjuna is named Gudakesha, one who has conquered sleep, a sign of his alertness and discipline. Krishna is again Hrishikesha, lord of the senses. The two names together are fitting: the one who has mastered sleep and the one who masters the senses. Krishna does as he is asked and drives the chariot into the open ground between the armies. The sentence continues into the next verse, where Krishna's brief words will turn Arjuna's attention to his kin.
