11.1

Sanskrit

मदनुग्रहाय परमं गुह्यमध्यात्मसंज्ञितम् । यत्त्वयोक्तं वचस्तेन मोहोऽयं विगतो मम ॥

madanugrahāya paramaṃ guhyam adhyātmasaṃjñitam yat tvayoktaṃ vacas tena moho'yaṃ vigato mama

Translation

This word of the supreme Secret concerning the Self, Thou hast spoken out of compassion; by this my delusion is taken away.

Explanation

Arjuna opens by crediting chapter 10’s teaching on the divine manifestations with clearing his delusion (moha) — the same word used for his paralysis back in chapter 1. It’s worth flagging as an early, partial close: he says the confusion is gone here, in verse 1 of 18 chapters, and yet within a few verses he’ll be reduced to open terror by the very vision he’s about to request. Removing intellectual doubt and surviving direct confrontation with what that doubt was actually pointing at turn out to be two different things.
