Now Sanjaya describes how he was able to describe the events on the battlefield many miles away. Vedavyasa gave him inner vision to see the whole battle in detail internally. By this inner vision which Vyasadeva bestowed, Sanjaya was able to see and hear Lord Krishna and every word He spoke in this divine discourse, this supreme doctrine, this ultra confidential treatise. As well Sanjaya could see by his inner vision all the events that transpired everywhere on the battlefield simultaneously. Sanjaya heard Srimad Bhagavad-Gita directly from the holy mouth of the Supreme Lord Krishna.

The phrase vyasa-prasadat means by the grace of Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa the author of Vedanta Sutras, the Puranas, Mahaharata, etc. This grace gave Sanjaya celestial vision and clairaudience to directly see and hear all that transpired on the battlefield and thus he was able to recite verbatim the divine discourse spoken by Lord Krishna known as Srimad Bhagavad-Gita exactly as Lord Krishna originally revealed it.

Sanjaya explains that he received the mercy of clairaudience and celestial vision from Vedavyasa, the author of Vedanta Sutras, Mahabharata, the Puranas, etc. Sanjaya considers himself most blessed by hearing Lord Krishna speak the divine discourse of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
