Has this been heard, O Arjuna, with one-pointed mind? Has the delusion of thy ignorance been destroyed, O Dhananjaya?

Son of Pritha, have you heard this with a focused mind? Dhananjaya, has your bewilderment born of ignorance been destroyed?

Having finished his teaching, Krishna asks Arjuna two questions. Has he heard it with full attention? Has his confusion born of ignorance been destroyed? The questions bring the dialogue back to its starting point, Arjuna's bewilderment at the start of the battle. They also model good teaching: the teacher checks whether the student has understood. Everything now depends on Arjuna's answer.
