English Commentary By Swami Sivananda



1.1 धर्मक्षेत्रे on the holy plain, कुरुक्षेत्रे in Kurukshetra, समवेताः assembled together, युयुत्सवः desirous to fight, मामकाः my people, पाण्डवाः the sons of Pandu, च and, एव also, किम् what, अकुर्वत did do, सञ्जय O Sanjaya.

Commentary Dharmakshetra -- that place which protects Dharma is Dharmakshetra. Because it was in the land of the Kurus, it was called Kurukshetra.

Sanjaya is one who has conquered likes and dislikes and who is impartial.
