Commentary (टीका)
Krishna's final question is tender and concerned — not a test but a loving inquiry. He wants to confirm that the entire teaching has reached Arjuna's heart. This is the last time Krishna speaks in the Gita, and His question about destroyed delusion circles back to the very beginning when Arjuna was overcome by confusion on the battlefield.
