Gita Reflection Ch 1 verses 5 & 6


  • धृष्ट-केतु : a bold Chief or leader, चेकितान a wise person, पुरुजित् hero who repeatedly won. 
  • Though these are a few of the Pandava warriors of a limited army, Duryodhana has a valid concern because each of them excels in what they do.
  • Positive values (samskara-s), even if they are few must be deep and strong to overcome habitual tendencies (vasana-s) even if they are innumerable.
  • युधामन्यु (युधा - at war मन्यु - zealous). One of the important virtues of all men of success is their zeal - devotional passion toward the goal.
  • उत्तम+ओजस् - person of excellent vigor which is another trait for the battle with ego and its associates!
  • Though the warriors were real and historical, for the purpose of our self-development we should relate to their virtues.
