Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Arjuna went to the other camp, and immediately Duryodhana received him as his brother: "My dear brother, you have come? What do you want? You want the kingdom without fighting? Therefore you have come? I can give you. I can stop this fighting if you want without fighting." "No," Arjuna said. "No, I have come for some other purpose."

Duryodhana did not believe that, "He may miss these five arrows," but he said: "My dear grandfather, better I keep these five arrows with me. I shall deliver you tomorrow morning." "All right, you keep it." Kṛṣṇa understood. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading. He immediately said Arjuna, "Tomorrow you are going to be killed. Be assured." Why? "Now this is the position." "Then what to do?" "Now, you go to Duryodhana and take away all those arrows. Otherwise you'll be killed."

So Arjuna remembered that Duryodhana once promised—Duryodhana was elderly, Arjuna is young, younger brother—that, "My dear brother, I promise, whatever you want I can give you." So Duryodhana (Arjuna) said: "All right. I shall ask you some days later. Not now." So Arjuna thought, "Now this is the opportunity. I shall go and ask Duryodhana to give me those arrows."

So Arjuna went to the other camp, and immediately Duryodhana received him as his brother: "My dear brother, you have come? What do you want? You want the kingdom without fighting? Therefore you have come? I can give you. I can stop this fighting if you want without fighting." "No," Arjuna said. "No, I have come for some other purpose." "All right. Whatever you want, you can . . ." "Yes, you some time promised that whatever I want you will give me." "Yes, I am keeping my promise. What you want?" He said: "Give me those five arrows." (laughter) "Yes, you take it." Immediately. This is kṣatriya spirit. This is brahminical culture. "Yes, you take it. Promise."
