Surrounded and weary, Arjuna "utsmayan... śanakaiḥ" -- smiles and calmly addresses Krishna. Calm before impending danger is the fruit of trust in the Lord at one's side. It is telling that even encircled, he does not grow anxious but takes counsel with God. The verse teaches that closeness to the Lord grants peace amid danger: where God is with you, one may smile even ringed by enemies and calmly take counsel; the devotee's composure is not carelessness but trust in the One who is near and to whom one's fate is entrusted.
