Explanation

For the first time in this chapter Arjuna speaks, and he answers Krishna's words with praise. He addresses Krishna as the supreme Brahman, the highest dwelling, the supreme purifier, the eternal divine person, the first god, unborn and all-pervading. Many of these titles echo what Krishna has said of himself earlier in the dialogue, so Arjuna is now affirming them in his own voice. The change is striking: the warrior who began in confusion and grief now speaks the language of a hymn. His understanding of his charioteer has visibly grown.
