arjuna-uvācha:
dṛṣṭvemaṁ sva-janaṁ kṛṣṇa
yuyutsuṁ samupasthitham
sīdanthi mama gātrāṇi
mukhaṁ cha pariśhuṣhyati
vepathuśh cha śharīre me
roma-harṣhaśh cha jāyate
Meaning :
Arjuna said : "Krishna, on seeing these men ready for battle, my limbs give way and my mouth is parching; even a shiver runs through my body and hair stands upright."
Comment :
As mentioned earlier, during tragic or critical situations, we also experience such changes in our body. Our hair may stand upright, some start to shiver, some feel their limbs dont have strength, some have their mouth parched. All these are the indicators of fear/sadness within us.
Such a situation happens to Arjuna as he is "Partha" (like ordinary men). He starts to feel light-headed, being numb and to shiver. All this happens at a time when he needs to be the person giving the required energy and confidence to others on his side.
In this shloka, Arjuna explains his feeling to Krishna.
