Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
इसलिए तुम उठो, यश प्राप्त करो, शत्रुओं को जीतकर समृद्ध राज्य भोगो। ये सब मेरे द्वारा पहले से ही मारे जा चुके हैं। हे सव्यसाचिन्! तुम केवल निमित्तमात्र बनो।
English Translation
Therefore arise, win glory, conquer your enemies, and enjoy a prosperous kingdom. These warriors have already been slain by Me. Be merely an instrument, O Savyasachin.
Commentary (टीका)
This resolves Arjuna's moral dilemma — he is not the true doer but an instrument of divine will. The call to 'arise' echoes the Gita's message of righteous action.
