Overview
The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna. Facing the duty as a king to war between pandava and Kaurava, Arjuna is counselled by Krishna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and Establishing Dharma." Inserted in this appeal to kshatriyadharma (heroism) is "a dialogue between diverging attitudes concerning and methods toward the attainment of liberation (moksha)".'This famous and marvellous Sanskrit poem occurs as an episode of theMahabharata, in the sixth--or "Bhishma"--Parva of the great Hindooepic. It enjoys immense popularity and authority in India, where it isreckoned as one of the ``Five Jewels,"--pancharatnani--of Devanagiriliterature. In plain but noble language it unfolds a philosophical systemwhich remains to this day the prevailing Brahmanic belief, blending as itdoes the doctrines of Kapila, Patanjali, and the Vedas. So lofty are manyof its declarations, so sublime its aspirations, so pure and tender itspiety, that Schlegel, after his study of the poem, breaks forth into thisoutburst of delight and praise towards its unknown author...' -- EDWIN ARNOLD
