Bhagavad Gita 11.36
अर्जुन उवाच | स्थाने हृषीकेश तव प्रकीर्त्या जगत्प्रहृष्यत्यनुरज्यते च | रक्षांसि भीतानि दिशो द्रवन्ति सर्वे नमस्यन्ति च सिद्धसङ्घाः ||
arjuna uvāca | sthāne hṛṣīkeśa tava prakīrtyā jagat prahṛṣyaty anurajyate ca | rakṣāṁsi bhītāni diśo dravanti sarve namasyanti ca siddha-saṅghāḥ ||
Translation
Arjuna said: O ruler of the senses, it is right that the world rejoices and is delighted in your praise. The Rakshasas, terrified, flee in all directions, and all the hosts of perfected ones salute you.
Reflection
Where can you bless the responses of others without needing them to match your own?
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Eleven
Arjuna said: O ruler of the senses, it is right that the world rejoices in your praise and is filled with affection for you. The Rakshasas, terrified, flee in all directions, and the hosts of perfected ones salute you. Sthane hrishikesha, rightly. The first word is sthane, fitting, in place. Arjuna begins the closing hymn by certifying that the response of the world is appropriate. The world that loves you is right to love you. The Rakshasas who flee are right to flee. The siddhas who bow are right to bow. The verse organizes the world's response into a single picture of fitness. After the terror of the last twenty verses Arjuna has found the posture that will carry him through. He will assert the rightness of every reverent response to what he has seen.
