Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जहाँ योगेश्वर कृष्ण हैं और जहाँ धनुर्धर अर्जुन हैं — वहाँ श्री (सम्पत्ति), विजय, विभूति (ऐश्वर्य) और अटल नीति है — ऐसा मेरा मत है।
English Translation
Wherever there is Krishna, the Lord of Yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna, the wielder of the bow — there will certainly be prosperity, victory, glory, and firm righteousness. Such is my conviction.
Commentary (टीका)
The Bhagavad Gita concludes with this immortal declaration. The union of divine wisdom (Krishna) and righteous human effort (Arjuna) guarantees victory on all fronts — material prosperity, military success, spiritual glory, and moral righteousness. This final verse affirms that when God and the devoted soul work together, nothing is impossible. It is both a historical prophecy about the Mahabharata war and an eternal truth about the partnership between divine grace and human devotion.
