Passage 32

In English

This was on the Margasira Suddha Ekadasi day. Some consider this day as the Gitajayanti or the day on which Krishna vouchsafed the message of the Gita to Arjuna. But this was the day on which Sanjaya narrated the story of the battle to Dhritharashtra. The Gita was actually given by Krishna to Arjuna on the Karthika Bahula Amavasya day.
