Giảng giải

Arjuna pauses from describing to declare what the form means. Krishna is the akṣara, the imperishable, the highest object of knowledge; the ultimate support or treasury of the universe; the undying protector of eternal dharma; the primordial person (puruṣa). The phrase guardian of eternal dharma links the vision to the battlefield: Arjuna's struggle concerns dharma, and here he recognises its ultimate protector. The words I believe show that this is Arjuna's own conviction, arrived at through what he sees. Vision is turning into understanding.
