'Parivartamāne āditye,' 'the sun was turning' — time presses upon Arjuna, for his vow is bound to sunset. The warriors are 'mandībhūtāḥ,' worn out, and the day drags on. It is significant that Time itself, in the form of the sun, becomes a participant in the drama — the measure by which the fulfillment of the oath is counted. The verse teaches that Time governs every undertaking: the declining sun compels haste, and one who remembers the deadline labors with an eye on the sunset — for a lost hour cannot be regained, and Time does not wait for the exhausted.
