Translation
Wherever is Krishna, Yoga's Lord, wherever is Pârtha, the archer, assured are there prosperity, victory and happiness. So I think.

Explanation
The Gita’s final verse, and one of its most quoted: wherever Krishna, Lord of Yoga, and Arjuna, the archer, are together, there is glory, victory, abundance, and sure conduct — “so I think,” in Sanjaya’s own closing judgment. It’s a fitting single line to end on: not a claim that transcendence replaces action or that action needs no transcendence, but that their union — divine wisdom paired with human skill, exactly the pairing chapter 2 first proposed as the answer to Arjuna’s crisis — is where success actually lives.
