Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 1, Verse 21

हृषीकेशं तदा वाक्यमिदमाह महीपते । अर्जुन उवाच । सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये रथं स्थापय मेऽच्युत

hṛṣīkeśaṃ tadā vākyamidamāha mahīpate | arjuna uvāca | senayorubhayormadhye rathaṃ sthāpaya me'cyuta

Translation

Then seeing the people of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's party regularly marshalled, while the discharge of weapons began, Arjuna, the son of Pāṇḍu, whose ensign was a monkey, O King of earth, took up his bow and said thus to Kṛṣṇa: "O Achyuta (Immortal), place my chariot between the two armies, that I may just see those who stand here desirous to fight, and know with whom I must fight in this strife of battle.

— Alladi Mahadeva Sastri
