English Translation
Arjuna said: O Achyuta, my delusion is destroyed and I have regained my awareness by Your grace. I stand firm, free from doubt. I shall execute Your command.
Commentary (टीका)
Arjuna's response is one of the most powerful moments in the Gita. His declaration 'my delusion is destroyed' perfectly answers Krishna's concern. The transformation is complete — from the despairing, confused warrior of Chapter 1 to the resolute, enlightened man of action. His final words 'I shall do Your bidding' represent the ideal of surrender combined with duty.
