Again, Krishna knows very well in all their details what had already taken place and what will take place hereafter. O descendant of the Bharata race, knowing the import of all this, Krishna took up the charioteership of the son of Pritha, even as the Self-create One took up the charioteer-ship of Rudra.
अनागतमतिक्रान्तं वेद कृष्णोऽपि तत्त्वतः॥ एतदर्थं विदित्वापि सारथ्यमुपजग्मिवान्। स्वयं भूरिव रुद्रस्य कृष्णः पार्थस्य भारत॥
