Explanation

Hrishikesha (also spelled Hrishikesha) is one of the many names of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. The name is derived from two Sanskrit words: 'Hrishika' meaning 'the senses' and 'Isha' meaning 'lord' or 'master'. Therefore, Hrishikesha translates to 'Lord of the Senses' - one who has complete control over all the senses and is the master of sensory perception. This name appears in the Gita when Arjuna addresses Krishna with reverence.
