The 5th verse of Gitartha Samgraha by Yamunacharya summerises the chapter one of the Gita.<blockquote>अस्थानस्नेहकार्पण्यधर्माधर्मधियाऽऽकुलम् । पार्थं प्रपन्नमुद्दिश्य शास्त्रावतरणं कृतम् ॥ ५ ॥<ref>[http://www.acharya.org/sloka/alavandar/gsa-skt.pdf Sri Gitartha Samgraha]</ref></blockquote><blockquote>asthānasnehakārpaṇyadharmādharmadhiyā<nowiki>''</nowiki>kulam । pārthaṁ prapannamuddiśya śāstrāvataraṇaṁ kr̥tam ॥ 5 ॥ </blockquote>Meaning: Arjuna saw the dear relatives like Bhima, Masters (a''charyas'') like Drona assembled opposite him to engage in battle with him.  Arjuna's love and compassion (''Daya'') for them overflowed although they had no fitness for that display of affection.  As a result, Arjuna concluded that the righteous war with them befitting his status as a Kshathriya was unrighteous (''Adharma'').  He was overcome with weakness.  He threw down his bow and arrows and sat down with dejection at the foot of his chariot. Next, Arjuna appealed to Lord, his charioteer to show him the right way.  With smile on His face, Lord Parthasarathy (Sri Krishna) commenced His teaching (''upadesha'') for Arjuna on the real nature of the embodied soul (''Svarupams'' of ''Jivatma''), of the Supreme Soul or God (''Paramatma''), the means to reach God (''Paramatma)'' and related esoteric meanings of Vedanta.  Lord's teaching (''upadesha'') was like nectar for Arjuna and easy to understand.<ref>http://www.yogakshemam.net/English/IndianPhilosophy/GitarthaSangraha.html#_Toc174119363</ref>
