What each is called

Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna are addressed by many names across the eighteen books, and the choice is rarely decoration — each name carries a meaning, and the song tends to reach for a particular one at a particular kind of moment. Every name and citation below is verified against the verses themselves, in Sanskrit; nothing here is assumed.
