Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 1: Arjuna's Despair
Bhagavad Gita 1.47
एवमुक्त्वार्जुनः संख्ये रथोपस्थ उपाविशत् ।
विसृज्य सशरं चापं शोकसंविग्नमानसः ॥
evamuktvārjunaḥ saṃkhye rathopastha upāviśat | visṛjya saśaraṃ cāpaṃ śokasaṃvignamānasaḥ ||
Having said this on the battlefield, Arjuna sank down on the seat of his chariot, casting aside his bow and arrows, his mind overwhelmed by grief.
Modern context
The chapter ends with its hero sitting down, his weapons on the floor. The Gita gives a whole chapter to this collapse before offering a single word of advice. Being fully heard comes before being helped. Arjuna's despair is itself called a yoga in the chapter's title, because honest confusion is where the search begins.
