Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai kegembiraan kaum Kuru, apa jua yang dahulu telah diucapkan oleh Kṛṣṇa—wira unggul bangsa Vṛṣṇi—pasti akan terjadi tepat seperti itu. Maka, janganlah engkau menyimpan sebarang keraguan atau sangkaan yang berlawanan dalam perkara ini.”

Educational Q&A
The verse urges steadfast trust in Kṛṣṇa’s prior counsel: what has been rightly declared will unfold as stated, so one should not be shaken by doubt or over-deliberation when dharma-guided guidance has already been given.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, he reassures a Kuru prince (addressed as Kurunandana) that Kṛṣṇa’s earlier words are certain to be fulfilled, discouraging hesitation and reinforcing confidence in the course already indicated.
