Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation

Bhagavad Gita 18.78

yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥ | tatra śrīrvijayo bhūtirdhruvā nītirmatirmama ||

Wherever there is Krishna, the lord of yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna, the archer, there will be fortune, victory, prosperity, and firm justice. That is my conviction.

Modern context

The Gita ends with Sanjaya's conviction: wherever there is Krishna, the master of yoga, and Arjuna, the archer, there will be fortune, victory, prosperity and justice. It is a picture of wisdom and action together. Krishna is the guide; Arjuna is the one who acts. When clear understanding and skilled, committed action meet, good things follow. The last verse is, in its way, a summary of everything.
