Seeing the army being crushed by Bhagadatta, O worthy one, while he himself was being called to battle by them — his heart became divided in two. 'Which deed would be more beneficial?' he pondered — 'should I turn back from here, or should I go to Yudhishthira?' Having weighed this by reason, O upholder of the line of Kuru, Arjuna's predominant thought became firmly fixed on the destruction of the Samshaptakas.

Even Arjuna knows a divided heart: duty calls him to two places at once — to save the army from Bhagadatta and to accept the Samshaptakas' challenge. This wavering is not weakness but the honest anguish of choosing between two duties. It is notable that he decides not on impulse but 'having weighed it by reason': feeling is divided, but reason gathers the will into a firm decision. The verse teaches that even the most valiant know the struggle of duty against duty, when one cannot be everywhere at once; that the anguish of choosing between two good deeds is natural and no cause for shame; and that it is not impulse but sober deliberation that resolves them — having weighed what is more urgent, a person gathers a divided heart into a single firm will and acts, no longer torn.
