\n\u2018P\u0101rtha[1. Name of Arjuna…], -the most noble-minded[2. Or, ‘deep-minded (mah\u0101-man\u0101h<\/em>). So called because he knew God-ship of K\u1e5bish\u1e47a (Vide Bhagavad-vishaya<\/em> vol. II, pp. 954-55], the most compassionate, the eternal-kinsman, and the most virtuous- albeit often subjected by you, along with his brothers, to horrid acts of treachery, with intent to kill -such as for instance, the burning them up in a lac-made house[3. Such a mansion was built in V\u0101ra\u1e47avata for the reception of the P\u0101n\u1e0dava princes, by Purochana, at the instigation of Duryodhana, with the object of burning them alive, when asleep, after a festival. Warned, however, by Vidura, they knew the insidious character of the plot, and made their escape by an underground passage. Purochana was burnt instead. (See Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> I. 5864).], etc.,- albeit your knowing that, by him (P\u0101rtha), the destruction of all your people is certain -by the fact that he<\/em> has the help of Parama-purusha[4. Parama-Purusha<\/em> = Synonym Purushottama<\/em>(‘The Super-excellent Person’, the 24th name of God, (vide also, P\u0101ta\u00f1jala Yoga-S\u016btra I.24, (which says purusha-vi\u015bes\u1e25<\/em>) – Purusha is the common term to denote a thinking<\/em> substance from an unthinking<\/em> substance. Utpurusha<\/em>=bound soul; uttara-purusha<\/em>=liberated soul, uttama-purusha<\/em>=the ever-free soul; Purushottama<\/em>=Soul Supreme=God.): Purushna<\/em> means etymologically He who grants abundance; “puru=bahu, sanoti=dad\u0101ti.<\/em>” Thus Parama-Purusha means the Supreme all-Giver.] Himself present with him- (yet, P\u0101rtha) looked on them all with feelings of friendship for kinsmen, and overcome by pity, and by fear lest right (or righteousness) may suffer, he shrank within himself and said: \u2018In no case whatsoever shall I fight.\u2019 So saying, he became most dejected (in mind), affected with grief at the thought of separation from kin, and letting go his arrowed-bow, sat himself down in his car.<\/span><\/p>\n
