Bhagavadgītā (Бхагавад-гита): Глава I - Arjunaviṣāda (Арджунавишада)
Разочарование Арджуны
Introduction
Sañjaya, disciple of Vyāsa himself, was asked by Dhṛtarāṣṭra about the situation of the two armies in the battlefield of Kurukṣetra. Sañjaya had the power of supernormal sight, and he could see what was occurring in Kurukṣetra though he was not there. The blind king Dhṛtarāṣṭra knew this, and that is why he asked Sañjaya to tell him what was happening between the Kaurava army commanded by his eldest son, Duryodhana, and that one commanded by the five Pāṇḍava-s. Bhagavadgītā thus begins...
Important: All that is in brackets and italicized within the translation has been added by me in order to complete the sense of a particular phrase or sentence. In turn, all that is between double hyphen (--...--) constitutes clarifying further information also added by me. Besides, although I have not written any commentary on each stanza, I have added my own notes when a more detailed explanation is needed. In addition, note that I will use inverted commas to delimit text only when the person speaking is not Sañjaya himself (the narrator). Therefore, the words spoken by Sañjaya will not be delimited by inverted commas or quotation marks.
Chapter 1: Arjunaviṣāda (Arjuna's disappointment)
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच
धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः।
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय॥१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca
Dharmakṣetre kurukṣetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ|
Māmakāḥ pāṇḍavāścaiva kimakurvata sañjaya||1||
Dhṛtarāṣṭra (dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ) said (uvāca):
"(After having) met (samavetāḥ) in Kurukṣetra (kurukṣetre), (also known as) Dharmakṣetra (dharmakṣetre), full of desires to fight (yuyutsavaḥ), oh Sañjaya (sañjaya), what (kim) did my own (sons) (māmakāḥ) along with (ca eva) the 'reputed' sons of Pāṇḍu (pāṇḍavāḥ)1 do (akurvata)?"||1||
1 I wrote "reputed" because the five Pāṇḍava-s (Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva) were not really the sons of Pāṇḍu, but of the divinities Dharma, Vāyu and Indra (the three first Pāṇḍava-s), while the two Aśvī-s were the fathers of the twin-brothers Nakula and Sahadeva.
सञ्जय उवाच
दृष्ट्वा तु पाण्डवानीकं व्यूढं दुर्योधनस्तदा।
आचार्यमुपसङ्गम्य राजा वचनमब्रवीत्॥२॥
Sañjaya uvāca
Dṛṣṭvā tu pāṇḍavānīkaṁ vyūdhaṁ duryodhanastadā|
Ācāryamupasaṅgamya rājā vacanamabravīt||2||
Sañjaya (sañjayaḥ) said (uvāca):
Certainly (tu), having seen (dṛṣṭvā) the Pāṇḍava (pāṇḍava) army (anīkam) arrayed for battle (vyūḍham), king (rājā) Duryodhana (duryodhanaḥ) then (tadā), approaching (upasaṅgamya) to (his) master (ācāryam)1, told (him) (vacanam abravīt)||2||
1 That is, Droṇācārya, who had given him military instruction. Likewise, the five Pāṇḍava-s had been trained by Droṇācārya too, but he took the Kaurava-s' side when the war began. Droṇācārya married Kṛpī, the twin-sister of king Kṛpācārya. This king is mentioned merely as "Kṛpa" later on in the text (8th stanza). In turn, Droṇācārya and Kṛpī had a son, whose name was Aśvathāmā. Aśvathāmā is also mentioned later in the same 8th stanza.
पश्यैतां पाण्डुपुत्राणामाचार्य महतीं चमूम्।
व्यूढां द्रुपदपुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता॥३॥
Paśyaitāṁ pāṇḍuputrāṇāmācārya mahatīṁ camūm|
Vyūḍhāṁ drupadaputreṇa tava śiṣyeṇa dhīmatā||3||
"Oh master (ācārya)!, look (paśya) at this (etām) large (mahatīm) army (camūm) of the sons (putrāṇām) of (king) Pāṇḍu (pāṇḍu) arrayed for battle (vyūḍhām) by the son (putra) of Drupada (drupada), your (tava) intelligent (dhīmatā) disciple (śiṣyeṇa)1"||3||
1 The son of Drupada was Dhṛṣṭadyumna, who had also been disciple of Droṇācārya. Since Drupada was father-in-law of Arjuna, Dhṛṣṭadyumna was brother-in-law of the great Pāṇḍava.
अत्र शूरा महेष्वासा भीमार्जुनसमा युधि।
युयुधानो विराटश्च द्रुपदश्च महारथः॥४॥
Atra śūrā maheṣvāsā bhīmārjunasamā yudhi|
Yuyudhāno virāṭaśca drupadaśca mahārathaḥ||4||
"In this (army) (atra), brave men (śūrāḥ) (and) great (mahā) archers (iṣvāsāḥ) equal (samāḥ) to Bhīma (bhīma) (and) Arjuna (arjuna) in battle (yudhi), (such as) Yuyudhāna (yuyudhānaḥ) and (ca) Virāṭa (virāṭaḥ), as well as (ca) (such) a great (mahā) warrior (rathaḥ) (as) Drupada (drupadaḥ)"||4||

"Dhṛṣṭaketu (dhṛṣṭaketuḥ), Cekitāna (cekitānaḥ) and (ca) the powerful (warrior) (vīryavān) (known as) Kāśirāja (kāśirajaḥ); Purujit (purujit) and (ca) Kuntibhoja (kuntibhojaḥ), as well as (ca) Śaibya (śaibyaḥ), the excellent hero (narapuṅgavaḥ)"||5||

"The bold (warrior) (vikrāntaḥ) (called) Yudhāmanyu (yudhāmanyuḥ) and (ca... ca) the powerful (hero) (vīryavān) Uttamaujās (uttamaujāḥ); Saubhadra (saubhadraḥ) and (ca) the sons of Draupadī (draupadeyāḥ), all of them (sarva) great (mahā) warriors (rathāḥ) indeed (eva)"||6||
अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान्निबोध द्विजोत्तम।

Asmākaṁ tu viśiṣṭā ye tānnibodha dvijottama|
Nāyakā mama sainyasya sañjñārthaṁ tānbravīmi te||7||
"However (tu), as far as our own side is concerned (asmākam), oh first among the twice-born (dvija-uttama)1!, (just) learn (nibodha) (the names of) those (tān) who (ye) (are) the pre-eminent (viśiṣṭāḥ) generals (nāyakāḥ) of my (mama) army (sainyasya). I am speaking (bravīmi) about them (tān) to you (te) (only) for (artham) (your) information (sañjñā)"||7||
1 "Dvijottama" (dvija-uttama), that is, "first among the twice-born", is an epithet of Droṇācārya. By the word "dvija" or twice-born, the author is referring to the brāhmaṇa-s or priests.
भवान्भीष्मश्च कर्णश्च कृपश्च समितिञ्जयः।

अश्वत्थामा विकर्णश्च सौमदत्तिर्जयद्रथः॥८॥
Bhavānbhīṣmaśca karṇaśca kṛpaśca samitiñjayaḥ|

and the translation for the second version of the stanza reads
"You (bhavān), Bhīṣma (bhīṣmaḥ) and (ca... ca) Karṇa (karṇaḥ), as well as (ca) Kṛpa (kṛpaḥ), who is (always) victorious in battle (samitiñjayaḥ); Aśvathāmā (aśvathāmā), Vikarṇa (vikarṇaḥ) and (ca) Saumadatti (saumadattiḥ), whose war-chariot is (always) victorious (jayadrathaḥ)"||8||

"(There are) also (ca) many (bahavaḥ) other (anye) bold men (śūrāḥ) ready to abandon their lives (tyakta-jīvitāḥ) for the sake (arthe) of me (mat). All of them (sarve) strike (praharaṇāḥ) with multiple (nānā) weapons (śastra) (and) are skillful (viśāradāḥ) in war (yuddha)"||9||

"And (ca) those (men) stationed (avasthitāḥ), each in their respective position (yathābhāgam), in all (sarveṣu) strategical points (ayaneṣu), (that is,) all (sarve) of you (bhavantaḥ) indeed (eva hi), must protect (abhirakṣantu) Bhīṣma (bhīṣmam eva)"||11||

(This) caused (sañjanayan) joy (harṣam) to him --i.e. to Duryodhana-- (tasya)||12||

1 I joined these two stanzas together because the contents of the former naturally flow into the latter.
2 Epithet for Kṛṣṇa.
3 Acyuta literally means "one who has not fallen". Sometimes it is translated as "unfailing", as in the case of arrows that do not fail the target. Kṛṣṇa, being God Himself appearing in a human form, never falls or fails, this is the sense.
