Spiegazione

Sanjaya returns to describe the scene. Arjuna, called Gudakesha, one who has mastered sleep, declares to Krishna that he will not fight and falls silent. The epithet is telling: the alert, wakeful warrior has reached a standstill. His silence marks the end of his arguments. Everything he could say has been said, and the dialogue now waits for Krishna. In the frame of the epic, Dhritarashtra hears this and may hope the battle will not happen, which adds tension to what Krishna is about to say.
