Our explanation Krishna says that such a person soon becomes righteous at heart (dharmātmā) and reaches lasting peace. He tells Arjuna to declare it boldly: “my devotee never perishes.”

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि ऐसा व्यक्ति शीघ्र ही धर्मात्मा बन जाता है और शाश्वत शांति पाता है। वे अर्जुन से कहते हैं कि यह दृढ़ता से घोषित कर दें: “मेरा भक्त कभी नष्ट नहीं होता।”
