In this concluding verse of this section, Arjuna frankly asks: “THIS DOUBT OF MINE, O KRISHNA, YOU SHOULD COMPLETELY DISPEL.”
“The Eternal Scraper,” Lord Krishna, alone has the Pure Wisdom that can rub out this doubt and quieten the agitations caused by it, in the bosom of Arjuna. With this question, it becomes amply clear that his previous doubt has been totally dispelled.
