Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical-spiritual principle that disciplined inner attention (especially at a sanctified time like Brahma-muhūrta) can yield clarity and assurance; Kṛṣṇa’s companionship symbolizes righteous guidance sustaining the warrior’s mind amid the chaos of battle.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna, absorbed in meditation at the auspicious pre-dawn hour, experiences a vision in which he sees himself traveling through the sky together with Keśava (Kṛṣṇa).
