I am unable even to stand steady; my mind seems to be confused; and I see adverse omens, O Kesava!
I cannot keep quiet, for my mind is in tumult. The omens are adverse.
The bow Gandiva slips from my hand and my skin is burning. I can stand no longer. My mind seems to reel.
Moreover, O Keshava (Krishna), I am not able to stand firmly, and my mind seems to be whirling. And I notice the omens to be adverse.
The (bow) “Gandiva” slips from my hand and my skin burns all over; I am unable even to stand, my mind is reeling, as it were.
