Yea,
and whoso, full of faith, Heared wisely what it saith, Hearth
meekly,- when he dies, Surely shall his spirit rise To those
regions where the Blest, Free of flesh, in joyance rest.]
Hath this been heard by thee, O Indian Prince! With mind intent?
hath all the ignorance- Which bred thy trouble- vanished, My Arjun?
Arjuna. Trouble and ignorance are gone!
the Light Hath come unto me, by Thy favour, Lord! Now am I fixed! my
doubt is fled away! According to Thy word, so will I do!
Sanjaya. Thus gathered I the gracious
speech of Krishna, O my King! Thus have I told, with heart a-thrill,
this wise and wondrous thing By great Vyasa's learning writ, how
Krishna's self made known The Yoga, being Yoga's Lord. So is the
high truth shown! And aye, when I remember, O Lord my King, again
Arjuna and the God in talk, and all this holy strain, Great is my
gladness: when I muse that splendour, passing speech, Of
Hari, visible and plain, there is no tongue to reach My marvel and
my love and bliss.
O Archer-Prince! all hail! O Krishna,
Lord of Yoga! surely there shall not fail Blessing, and victory, and
power, for Thy most mighty sake, Where this song comes of Arjun, and
how with God he spake.
