Explanation

In the Mahabharata, the Gitopadesha (Bhagavad Gita) was delivered by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. According to the epic, Vyasa granted divine sight to Sanjaya, who narrated the battle to the blind Dhritarashtra. Thus, Sanjaya heard the discourse as it occurred and simultaneously narrated it. Vyasa, the author who compiled the epic, and Hanuman (who is said to have heard it from Arjuna or directly witnessed it) are also traditionally considered to have heard it. Dhritarashtra heard it through Sanjaya's narration. Sahadeva is not mentioned among those who heard the Gitopadesha live.
