Having said all this to Krishna, Arjuna declares 'I will not fight' and falls silent. Sanjay's narration marks this as a real turning point: the debate pauses, and it is now entirely Krishna's move.

✨ Devotional Takeaway:Arjuna's silence here is not defeat — it is the deliberate end of his argument and an opening for Krishna's.
