[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.25 · spoken by Krishna ]
Krishna spoke only once in Chapter 1. He pointed at the enemy. What did he say?
Krishna parked the chariot directly in front of Bhishma and Drona. Then he spoke — his only words in the entire chapter. O Parth — behold these Kauravs.
SANSKRIT
भीष्मद्रोणप्रमुखतः सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम् । उवाच पार्थ पश्यैतान्समवेतान्कुरूनिति ॥१-२५॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“Sometimes the cruelest thing you can do is show someone exactly what they asked to see.”
