Explanation
Chapter eleven opens with Arjuna speaking first, and he begins with gratitude. He says that Krishna, out of grace, has told him the highest secret about the self, and that his delusion (moha) has gone. This is a significant claim, since the whole dialogue began with Arjuna overwhelmed by confusion and grief. Some readers take him at his word; others note that what follows shows his understanding is still growing. Either way, the verse marks a turning point. Having heard about the divine glories, Arjuna is ready to ask for something more than words.
