Pātra No. 1
Hanumān is in the Gītā.
Arjuna is kapi-dhvaja: the one whose banner bears Hanumān.
Hanumān never speaks in the Gītā, but he is there from the first chapter. Arjuna is called kapi-dhvaja, the one whose banner bears Hanumān. He stays on the banner above the chariot for all 700 verses.
Arjuna asked his. Samvāda answers yours with the Gītā's own verses.
Samvāda is software, an AI companion tuned to the Bhagavad Gītā. It is not a person. It answers from the verse and shows you which one, and it never pretends to be Kṛṣṇa.
अथ व्यवस्थितान् दृष्ट्वा धार्तराष्ट्रान्कपिध्वजः।
प्रवृत्ते शस्त्रसंपाते धनुरुद्यम्य पाण्डवः।।
atha vyavasthitān dṛṣṭvā dhārtarāṣṭrān kapi-dhwajaḥ pravṛtte śastra-sampāte dhanurudyamya pāṇḍavaḥ
Then Arjuna, whose banner crest was Hanuman, on beholding the sons of Dhrtarastra arrayed, took up his bow, while missiles were beginning to fly.
1.20 is verse 20 of 700, and verse 20 of 47 in chapter 1.
Kapi-dhvaja (the banner of the monkey), in any form, appears in exactly one verse of the 700, 1.20.
Chapter 1 has 47 verses. Speakers: Sañjaya 24, Arjuna 22, Dhṛtarāṣṭra 1.

The Gītā opens on a battlefield, and Hanumān appears before Arjuna says a word. 1.19 ends the account of the conches: the uproar shakes heaven and earth and breaks the hearts of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons. Then 1.20 turns to Arjuna. Seeing Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons drawn up and the missiles beginning to fly, he lifts his bow, and the verse calls him kapi-dhvaja, the one whose banner crest is Hanumān. 1.21 gives his first words, asking Kṛṣṇa to draw the chariot up between the two armies. So the banner is named at the moment he takes up his bow and just before he speaks. The verse tells you who is on the chariot, and under whose sign, before the teaching has begun. The scene is set in chapter 1, and what the Gītā says about courage gathers related verses.
