Translator:
Then, seeing the people of Dhritarashtra's party standing arrayed and the discharge of weapons about to begin, Arjuna, the son of Pandu whose ensign was a monkey, took up his bow and said the following to Krishna, O Lord of the Earth.

A Reading - Rantideb

Arjuna taking up his bow is the moment of commitment. He is observing the state of the board before executing his function.
