Description
English: This folio samples a part of verse 20, and the beginning of verse 21 from the opening chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which is on the topic of Arjuna's distress.

प्रवृत्ते शस्त्रसम्पाते धनुरुद्यम्य पाण्डवः ॥ २० ॥

Then, beholding the sons of Dhritarâshtra standing arrayed, and flight of missiles about to begin, ... the son of Pându, took up his bow,

हृषीकेशं तदा वाक्यमिदमाह महीपते । अर्जुन उवाच । ... ॥ २१ ॥

And spoke this word to Hrishîkesha, O Lord of Earth. Arjuna said:
