Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 24

सञ्जय उवाच | एवमुक्तो हृषीकेशो गुडाकेशेन भारत | सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये स्थापयित्वा रथोत्तमम् ||

sañjaya uvāca evam ukto hṛṣīkeśo guḍākeśena bhārata senayor ubhayor madhye sthāpayitvā rathottamam

Sanjaya said: Thus addressed by Arjuna, Krishna stationed the magnificent chariot between the two armies.

Krishna positions the chariot as requested — but notice the names. Krishna is called Hṛṣīkeśa (master of the senses), Arjuna is called Guḍākeśa (conqueror of sleep). The irony is deliberate: the 'conqueror of darkness' will soon be overwhelmed by confusion, while the 'master of the senses' offers clarity. This moment teaches us that titles and past victories do not shield you from a present crisis. Even accomplished people need guidance when they face something they have never encountered before.
