Then, having entered Arjuna's incomparable dwelling, the lotus-eyed lord, having touched water on consecrated ground of auspicious sign, duly adorned that bed with a garland, puffed rice, and auspicious fragrances, and furnished it with the finest weapons. Then, to Partha, who had touched water, the humble attendants performed the daily rite — the night offering to Tryambaka.

On the eve of the fateful day, sacred order is kept: the ablution, the consecrated ground, the night offering — the "traiyambakam balim" to Tryambaka-Shiva. It is telling that Krishna Himself, the lotus-eyed Lord, in friendship arranges Arjuna's bed and furnishes it with weapons: God serves His devotee. The rites are not set aside before battle but carried out with care. The verse teaches that a great undertaking should be met in purity and good order: neither haste nor anxiety annuls the sacred rule, and the Lord Himself shows an example of humble care for one dear to Him.
