Explication

The chapter closes with a stirring command. Arjuna's doubt, born of ignorance and lodged in his heart, must be cut down with the sword of knowledge (jñāna). Then he should take his stand in yoga and rise. The warrior's imagery is fitting: the sword Arjuna needs first is not the one in his hand but the one of understanding. The final word, uttiṣṭha, arise, echoes Krishna's call in the second chapter. The teaching on knowledge returns, at its end, to the call to act.
