Giảng giải

The chapter ends with a clear instruction to Arjuna: let scripture be your authority in deciding what to do and what not to do. Knowing what its injunctions teach, you should act in the world. For Arjuna, who began the dialogue unsure of his duty, this offers an external standard beyond his shifting emotions. Readers differ on how strictly śāstra is to be taken, as a fixed code or as accumulated wisdom to be understood, but all agree the verse calls for informed, principled action.
