The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Sanjaya, the narrator, begins his concluding description. 'Ity ahaṁ vāsudevasya pārthasya ca mahātmanaḥ saṁvādam imam aśrauṣaṁ'—thus (iti), I (aham) have heard (aśrauṣam) this conversation (imam saṁvādam) between Vasudeva (vāsudevasya) and the great-souled Partha (pārthasya ca mahātmanaḥ). 'Adbhutaṁ roma-harṣaṇam'—wonderful (adbhutam) and hair-raising (roma-harṣaṇam). Sanjaya, who has been narrating the entire conversation to King Dhritarashtra, now describes what he has witnessed. He calls it wonderful and hair-raising—expressions of its profound and transformative nature. This marks the transition from the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna to Sanjaya's concluding remarks about the experience.
