Explication

The list of symptoms continues. Gandiva, Arjuna's celebrated bow, given to him by the fire god, slips from his grasp. His skin burns, he cannot keep his footing, and his mind whirls. The loss of grip on the bow is the outward image of a deeper loss of grip on his purpose. The verse also introduces the mind, manas, as the seat of his confusion. Much of the later teaching will concern how a restless, spinning mind can be steadied, and here we see that mind at its most unsettled.
