Explanation

In that serenity (prasāda) all sorrows come to an end. For one whose mind is clear and serene, the understanding (buddhi) quickly becomes steady. The verse links emotional calm with clear thinking. Grief and agitation cloud judgement, while serenity allows understanding to settle. For Arjuna, whose grief has left him unable to think or act, this is a direct promise: the path to a clear decision lies through inner calm, not through further argument.
