[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.29 · spoken by Arjun ]

The greatest archer alive couldn't hold his own bow. What made him drop it?

His body is trembling. His hair is standing on end. And Gandiva — the divine bow that never left his hand — is slipping from his grip.

SANSKRIT

सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति । वेपथुश्च शरीरे मे रोमहर्षश्च जायते ॥१-२९॥

KRISHNA’S LINE

The weapon doesn't fall from the hand. It falls from the heart.
