Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
अर्जुन बोले — मुझ पर अनुग्रह करने के लिए आपने जो परम गोपनीय अध्यात्म-विषयक वचन कहे, उनसे मेरा यह मोह दूर हो गया है।
English Translation
Arjuna said: By the supremely confidential spiritual words You have spoken out of compassion for me, my delusion has been dispelled.
Commentary (टीका)
Arjuna acknowledges that Krishna's teachings on divine glories and the science of the Self have cleared his confusion. The word 'moha' (delusion) — the very problem stated at the beginning of the Gita — is now declared as gone. This verse sets the stage for Arjuna's bold request to see the cosmic form.
