Comments:
According to Dr. Radhakrishnan, the chariot stands for the
psychological vehicle and the steeds are the senses. The reins are their
controls, but the charioteer, the guide is the spirit or soul or atman.
Krishna, the charioteer is the spirit in us.
According to Swami Chidbhvananda of Thirupparaithurai in
Thiruchirappalli district, calling Sri Krishna in one of His auspicious names,
Maadhava, has its own significance. That Maa stands for Lakshmi and Madhava
meaning the Spouse of Lakshmi, who is the Goddess of wealth, Sanjaya is of the
opinion that the Goddess of wealth is going to shower Her bounties on the
Pandavas through the victory in the Kurutchethra war!
The conches they blow are described as the divine ones or
the celestial ones. There is a lore that Nara and Narayana , the two celestial
beings incarnated as Arjuna and Krishna.
