00:10Think of Arjun. In the middle of the war, only men are assembled there and animals and weapons.

00:16Arjun is suddenly thinking of the women.

00:20And what will happen to the women?

00:22Obviously, it's not that he is thinking of the women.

00:24He is thinking of himself with respect to the women.

00:28If I am not there, what will my women do?
