Explanation

The Gita ends with Sanjaya's conclusion. Wherever Krishna, the lord of yoga, and Arjuna, the archer, stand together, there will be fortune, victory, prosperity and firm righteousness. The verse is also a quiet answer to Dhritarashtra's anxious question at the very start of the Gita about what was happening on the field. On one level it predicts the outcome of the war; on another it describes what follows when divine wisdom and human effort act together.
