घोर-क्रियाद्य्-अनुभावाद् आच्छाद्य सहजां रतिम् ।
दुर्वराविरभूद् भीतिर् मोहो’यं भी-वशस् ततः ॥२.४.२१५॥ghora-kriyādy-anubhāvād ācchādya sahajāṃ ratim |
durvarāvirabhūd bhītir moho’yaṃ bhī-vaśas tataḥ ||2.4.215||
English translation
“Uncontrollable fear appeared when Arjuna experienced the frightful actions of the universal form of the Lord. This covers the normal rati of Arjuna (friendship). The vyābhicārī-bhāva of moha is under the control of fear, which is not a secondary rati [because fear is incompatible with friendship].”
