Prabhupada: bhasya is commentary. Interpretation means “arthavada”. It means onething but another meaning is attributed to it. Arthavada. So these foolish persons they say Kuruksetra means the body. Why Kuruksetra should mean the body? In which dictionary the meaning of Kuruksetra is given as the body. But this goes on. They deviate the others by talking all nonsense and are mislead themselves also. This should not be done.
Has Vyasadeva written this Bhagavad Gita for us to engage in this arthavada? It is written for understanding, it is simple. Interpretation or arthavada is needed only when one does not understand. When it can be understood simply that there is a place called Kuruksetra and according to scriptures that is a dharmaksetra. In our village even today, if there is a mutual fight between persons, they go the temple. Why? Even today, earlier it was more prevalent, in the temple no one lies. The matter is resolved.
Similarly they fought on the dharmaksetra, so that the issue can be resolved. That is why Dhrtarastra is asking, what did they do next? They have gone to fight, every one will understand that, they will fight. Then why is he asking that after going to that place what did they do? It means that having gone to the dharmaksetra, did their hearts undergo any change or not? If a person tells lies and he is asked to repeat the same in the front of the Lord, earlier times he would be afraid as to how he can lie in front of the Lord? He will speak the truth.
