Wealth, strength, reputation, beauty and knowledge. Not that Kṛṣṇa was simply beautiful and He was cutting jokes with the damsels of Vṛndāvana and enjoying. No. Nobody could be compared with His knowledge. His knowledge is the Bhagavad-gītā. Still, the Bhagavad-gītā, the knowledge which was delivered, say within half an hour . . . this Bhagavad-gītā was spoken to Arjuna in the battlefield. Now, when Arjuna was just going to fight with his arrows and bows, he simply thought, "Oh, what I am going to do? I am going to kill my own men. The other side, they are only my brothers and nephews, grandfather. What sort of fight I am going to do? Kṛṣṇa, it is not possible to fight. Better I give up my claim. Let them enjoy. I cannot kill my kinsmen, my family men." That was his position.

Śriyaḥ means beauty. He was personally so beautiful that He attracted so many young girls of Vṛndāvana, gopīs. He is still standing before us. See how much He is beautiful: there's no comparison of His beauty.

So wealth, strength, reputation, beauty and knowledge. Not that Kṛṣṇa was simply beautiful and He was cutting jokes with the damsels of Vṛndāvana and enjoying. No. Nobody could be compared with His knowledge. His knowledge is the Bhagavad-gītā. Still, the Bhagavad-gītā, the knowledge which was delivered, say within half an hour . . . this Bhagavad-gītā was spoken to Arjuna in the battlefield. Now, when Arjuna was just going to fight with his arrows and bows, he simply thought, "Oh, what I am going to do? I am going to kill my own men. The other side, they are only my brothers and nephews, grandfather. What sort of fight I am going to do? Kṛṣṇa, it is not possible to fight. Better I give up my claim. Let them enjoy. I cannot kill my kinsmen, my family men." That was his position.

But because Kṛṣṇa was Arjuna's friend, so He thought, "What nonsense you are . . . you are a fighter, and you are talking all this sentiments." So He talked about something to encourage him to fight, and that is Bhagavad-gītā. Just imagine how much time they could spare in the battlefield—utmost half an hour or one hour. So the knowledge which Kṛṣṇa gave to Arjuna . . . of course Arjuna, also equally competent to understand Bhagavad-gītā within one hour. Because Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa, they are friends, so Arjuna had also equal qualification with Kṛṣṇa, so that Kṛṣṇa could speak and he could understand.
