Sanjaya Character Analysis

Dhritarashtra’s minister, who is gifted with the ability to see everything that occurs between the Pandavas and Kauravas on the battlefield and to overhear the entire dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna. 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.
