Translation

ENGLISH

This is the state of Brahman, son of Pritha; having attained it, one is no longer deluded. Established in it even at the hour of death, one attains the peace of Brahman.

हिंदी

हे पार्थ, यह ब्राह्मी स्थिति (ब्रह्म में स्थित अवस्था) है। इसे पाकर मनुष्य फिर मोहित नहीं होता, और अंत समय में भी इसमें स्थित होकर वह ब्रह्म-निर्वाण को प्राप्त होता है।

Explanation

The close of the chapter. Arjuna began in delusion (2.1–2.9); Shri Krishna completes the teaching by describing the state in which delusion has no place at all. Even if this state is reached only by the moment of death, it grants supreme peace.
