Slain, thou wilt obtain heaven; victorious, thou wilt enjoy the earth; therefore, stand up, O son of Kunti, resolved to fight.

If you are slain you will reach heaven; if you win you will enjoy the earth. So rise, son of Kunti, resolved to fight.

Krishna sets out the two possible outcomes, and both are good for a warrior fighting a just war. If Arjuna dies, he gains heaven; if he wins, he gains the earth and its rule. Therefore he should rise, resolved to fight. The verse closes the argument from duty and honour with a clear call to action. It also reverses Arjuna's earlier claim that he did not know which outcome was better: Krishna answers that neither outcome is a loss.
