saMjaya uvaacha:
yEvamuktO hriShIkEshO guDAkEshEna bhaarata
sEnayOrubhayOrmadhyE sthaapayitwA
rathOttamam || 24 ||
Sanjaya says: "O King of Bharata
dynasty, listening to what Gudakesha said, Hrishikesha took the great chariot
and placed between both the armies."
Gudakesha is one of the names of
Arjuna. Gudaka meand sleep and Isha means lord or one who has won over. So
Arjuna had won over sleep and was in a state of eternal consciousness. It means
to say that Arjuna was a very wise man who had won over ignorance. Hrishikesha
means the lord of minds or controller of minds of all beings. The author
compares and contrasts both Arjuna and Lord Krishna to show the completeness of
God. Though the reason of moving the chariot between the two armies was beyond the
comprehension of many, Lord Krishna knew what was going on in Arjuna's mind
exactly.
