“Arjuna said: Delusion is destroyed; remembrance is gained through your grace, O Achyuta. I stand firm, my doubts gone — I shall do your word.”
— Original plain-language translation
IN SHORT When confusion lifts and purpose returns, stand firm and act.
Arjuna's fourfold testimony — delusion gone, memory regained, steadiness, doubtlessness — ends in resolve: 'I shall do.' Smṛti here means recovered knowledge of who he is and what he must do. Grace (prasāda), not argument alone, gets the credit. The warrior stands where in 1.47 he sank; the Gita's cure is complete. It is like a patient remembering the doctor's advice at last, feeling steady and ready to follow it.
