That he himself was being struck by the enemy — many men did not perceive this in battle, so greatly were they bewildered by sleep. Perceiving their condition, that bull among men, Bibhatsu [Arjuna], spoke, making the directions resound loudly: ‘You are weary, blinded by sleep, all of you, together with your mounts; and the army is shrouded in darkness and thick dust. If you agree, rest awhile, warriors, and close your eyes right here, on the field of battle, for a little while.’

Seeing the ruinous madness brought on by sleep, Arjuna proclaims a respite — mercy in the midst of slaughter. It is significant that the call for rest comes from the greatest warrior, and is addressed not only to his own side but to all. The verse teaches that true valor is no stranger to compassion: the strongest is the first to acknowledge the limits of human strength and grants rest even to the enemy; and nobility shows itself not in unquenchable fury but in the ability to halt senseless suffering.
