الشرح

The final chapter opens with Arjuna asking for clarity on two words that have run through the whole dialogue: renunciation (sannyāsa) and relinquishment (tyāga). He wants to know the true nature of each, separately. Krishna has praised both at different points, and the terms could easily blur. Arjuna addresses him with three names, including slayer of the demon Keshi, a sign of respect at the start of the last teaching. The question allows Krishna to gather the threads of the whole Gita together.
