Bhagavad Gītā
The Song on the field of dharma — its own door, still at home in the Bhīṣma-parvan.
The Gītā is spoken to Arjuna in the Bhīṣma-parvan. This library gives it a prominent door because households study it as a book, while the registry still records its Mahābhārata home.
Chapter titles follow the traditional yoga colophons of the vulgate. Verse numbers match common Indian prints. A first slice opens chapters 1 and 2; the remaining chapters are indexed until their verses are sourced here.
