Explanation
Arjuna gives his answer, the last words he speaks in the Gita. His delusion is gone, and through Krishna's grace he has regained his memory (smṛti), his awareness of who he is and what is right. He stands firm, free from doubt, and will act on Krishna's word. The verse resolves the crisis that began the dialogue. Arjuna, who had dropped his bow, is now ready to act, not from compulsion but from restored clarity.
