He reports this conversation to the king, and his conversation with Dhritarashtra forms a frame story around the Bhagavad Gita’s eighteen discourses. At the end of the Gita, Sanjaya proclaims an ecstatic wonder at Krishna’s revelations and suggests that Arjuna is destined to win the war over Hastinapura.
