तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत। सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः।।
This shlok can be transliterated as:
tam uvācha hṛṣīkeśaḥ prahasanniva bhārata senayor ubhayor madhye viṣīdantam idaṁ vacaḥ
To explain the shlok in simple words:
In this shlok, Lord Krishna, who is addressed as "Hrishikesh" (one who controls the senses), responds to Arjuna's stubborn refusal to fight. Krishna looks at Arjuna and smiles, addressing him as "Bharata" (descendant of King Bharat).
Krishna acknowledges Arjuna's sadness and dejection in the midst of the two armies that are facing each other for battle. Arjuna is standing in the middle of the two armies, surrounded by soldiers and their weapons. Krishna observes Arjuna's inner turmoil and begins to offer guidance.
Overall, this shlok emphasizes the compassion and understanding that Krishna has for Arjuna's predicament. It also sets the stage for the dialogue that follows between the two, where Krishna imparts wisdom and knowledge to Arjuna to help him overcome his doubts and fulfill his duty as a warrior.
