Pandit: WeW According to the Gita (scripture) he was doing his official
work and the s'lintly work also. He was an enlightened saint and king.
King: When Shri Krishna asked Atjun to fight in the battle, then did Shri
Krishna hJ1ve to Atjun lessons on the use of arms or sermons from Gita? He
blessed him the Lord's name. After imbibing the Lord's name did Arjun fight
