Explanation · English
Following the revelation of Time, Krishna gives Arjuna a direct command: arise (uttiṣhṭha). The key phrase is "nimitta-mātram" — be merely an instrument. This resolves Arjuna's guilt: he is not the killer, just the instrument of a fate already sealed. It's a profound teaching on agency and surrender.
