सांख्ययोग

तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत | सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः ||२-१०||

tamuvāca hṛṣīkeśaḥ prahasanniva bhārata . senayorubhayormadhye viṣīdantamidaṃ vacaḥ ||2-10||

In plain words

You are invited to pause and listen as a gentle, loving guide prepares to lift your heavy heart. When you feel overwhelmed by life's battles, do not despair. Divine wisdom meets your grief with a knowing smile, ready to wake you from the illusion of maya, the cosmic misunderstanding that makes temporary struggles seem permanent.

Translation
