पश्यतो वृष्णिदाराश् च मम ब्रह्मन् सहस्रशः ॥
आभीरैर् अनुसृत्याजौ हृताः पञ्चनदालयैः ॥
धनुर् आदाय तत्राहं नाशकं तस्य पूरणे ॥
यथा पुरा च मे वीर्यं भुजयोर् न तथाभवत् ॥
अस्त्राणि मे प्रनष्टानि विविधानि महामुने ॥
शराश् च क्षयम् आपन्नाः क्षणेनैव समन्ततः ॥
paśyato vṛṣṇidārāś ca mama brahman sahasraśaḥ ||
ābhīrair anusṛtyājau hṛtāḥ pañcanadālayaiḥ ||
dhanur ādāya tatrāhaṃ nāśakaṃ tasya pūraṇe ||
yathā purā ca me vīryaṃ bhujayor na tathābhavat ||
astrāṇi me pranaṣṭāni vividhāni mahāmune ||
śarāś ca kṣayam āpannāḥ kṣaṇenaiva samantataḥ ||
Before my eyes, O brahmin, the wives of the Vrishnis were carried off by the thousands — by Abhiras, inhabitants of Panchanada, who fell upon us in a skirmish. Taking up the bow, I could not draw it there; the strength in my arms was no longer what it had been before. My various weapons vanished, O great sage, and the arrows were spent in an instant, from all sides.

Arjuna confesses with bitterness his own powerlessness: the unconquerable archer could not draw the Gandiva, the mantra-weapons vanished, the quivers were emptied. In this admission lies the beginning of wisdom: the hero who had all his life regarded valor as his own comes to understand that it was never his. Thus the Lord, by withdrawing the gift, transforms pride into self-knowledge. Confession of weakness before a sage is the first step toward truth. The verse teaches that the recognition of one's own helplessness, when the granted power is taken away, is a bitter yet saving grace, revealing to a person the source of all he had possessed; and that humble acknowledgment of one's weakness before the wise is not disgrace but a gateway to truth, for only one emptied of pride is able to receive the teaching that all his strength was God's.
