The verse highlights steadfastness (acalatā) in the performance of one’s duty: Arjuna’s ethical strength is portrayed as immovable resolve in a righteous conflict, not impulsive violence.
After the preceding events, Arjuna steps forward prepared for battle; he is depicted as radiant and unassailable, standing firm on the battlefield like the Himālaya.
