Introduction

These are two beautiful questions! Of course, when I translate them into English, much of the taste is lost!

No English words can convey the meaning of so many beautiful words expressed by Arjuna. A single word has many meanings in Saṃskṛit. The moment I translate, I give only one dimension, a single dimension of the verse.

Understand, the Sanskṛit language is that it is not only linguistic, but also has importance at the phonetic level. Just the vibration of the words can transform our whole inner space. The sound changes the energy of the place and the inner space of those who hear it or are chanting it. We should understand the concepts called padā and padārtha.

For example, when I say the word 'cow, immediately a figure appears in our mind an animal with four legs, a tail, head and two horns. The word is called padā, the figure is padārtha. What happens in our mind when we hear the word is padārtha. In all languages the distance or gap between padā and padārtha is significant.
