Thee he comes in touch with the knowledge acired in his former body and strives more than before for perfection, O Arjuna.

There he regains the understanding he had in his former body, and from there, joy of the Kurus, he strives once more for perfection.

In that new birth, the person regains the buddhi-saṃyoga, the joining with understanding, that he had developed in his previous body. From there he strives once again for perfection. Krishna addresses Arjuna as Kurunandana, joy of the Kurus. The verse expresses a striking idea: spiritual progress is carried across lifetimes like a kind of inheritance. One does not start from nothing, but picks up the thread where it was left, which explains why some people are drawn to the inner life from an early age.
