Commentary (टीका)
Arjuna validates Krishna's self-revelation by citing the authority of revered sages — Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa. This appeal to tradition (parampara) shows that Arjuna's faith is not blind but supported by the testimony of the greatest seers. The combination of scriptural authority and direct revelation makes his conviction unshakable.
