Soon he becomes righteous and attains to eternal peace; O Arjuna, proclaim thou for certain that My devotee never perishes.

Quickly he becomes righteous and attains lasting peace. Son of Kunti, declare it boldly: my devotee never perishes.

The person who has so resolved quickly becomes righteous, dharmātman, and attains lasting peace. Krishna then tells Arjuna to declare boldly that his devotee never perishes. The command to proclaim the promise is unusual; Krishna asks Arjuna himself to be its witness. The verse confirms that devotion is not a substitute for moral change but its source. The one who turns sincerely to God is transformed from within, and the promise of protection extends to such a person.
