The Blessed Lord said Again, O mighty-armed Arjuna, listen to my supreme word which I will declare to thee who who art beloved, for thy welfare.

The Lord said: Listen once more, mighty-armed one, to my highest word, which I will speak to you out of a wish for your good, since you take delight in it.

Chapter ten opens with Krishna offering to speak again, without being asked. He calls his words supreme and says he speaks out of concern for Arjuna's welfare, noting that Arjuna is pleased by what he hears. The previous chapter had ended on a call to devotion; here Krishna senses a listener who has become eager rather than troubled. The tone has shifted from the urgency of the battlefield to the warmth of a teacher sharing something he holds dear. The chapter will go on to describe the many ways the divine shows itself in the world.
