To those whose minds are set on Me, O Arjuna, verily I become ere long the saviour out of the ocean of Samsara.

for them, whose thought has entered into me, I soon become the one who lifts them out of the ocean of the round of death, son of Pritha.

For those whose thought has entered into him, Krishna says, he soon becomes the one who lifts them out of the ocean of the round of death. The image of the ocean of saṃsāra, the round of birth and death (saṃsāra), conveys how vast and overwhelming bondage can feel. The promise is that the devotee does not have to cross it by personal strength alone; Krishna himself rescues them, and does so without delay. The verse emphasizes grace as the answer to the difficulty described earlier.
