Uitleg
The monologue moves from wealth to power over others. One enemy has been killed and more will follow. Then comes a string of boasts: I am the lord (īśvara), the enjoyer, successful, strong and happy. The word īśvara, which the Gita uses for the divine Lord, is here claimed by the ego for itself. The verse has a sharp relevance on a battlefield, where killing could easily become a source of pride, and it contrasts with Arjuna's reluctance at the start of the dialogue.
