Translator:
Sanjaya said, Having thus spoken in the midst of the battlefield, Arjuna cast away his bow and arrow and, his mind overwhelmed with sorrow, sat down on the seat of the chariot.

A Reading - Rantideb

Sitting down in the chariot and casting aside his weapons is the physical manifestation of a complete system halt. The chapter ends not with action, but with absolute paralysis, setting the stage for the system reboot that is the rest of the Gita.

Author:
1.47 एवम् thus? उक्त्वा having said? अर्जुनः Arjuna? संख्ये in the battle? रथोपस्थे on the seat of the chariot? उपाविशत् sat down? विसृज्य having cast away? सशरम् with arrow? चापम् bow? शोकसंविग्नमानसः with a mind distressed with sorrow.Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the first discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Despondency of Arjuna.
