The verses describe a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna, on the eve of a battle between Arjuna and members of his family. It is thought that the text was written at a time when Bhramanical religion had been splintered, with Buddhism and Jainism separated. The Bhagavad-gītā teaches that there may be many ways to salvation, and can be interpreted as an endorsement of reconciliation. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:41:22</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31375841</termId><termName>Bhagavad Gita</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31375842</termId><termName>Bhagavad Gītā</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31375843</termId><termName>Bhagavad-gītā</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31344978</termId><termName>religious texts</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
