Krishna heals grief by turning it into good deeds for others: "etān… samāśvāsaya", "comfort them" — drawing Arjuna away from himself to his dejected brothers and friends. The leader's sorrow multiplies the sorrow of all: "tvayi śokasamāviṣṭe" — when he is broken, the rest are downcast too. "Viditaṃ veditavyaṃ te", "you know all that must be known", is a reminder that one who knows dharma has no right to give way to despair. It is telling that the best remedy for one's own pain is care for another's. The verse teaches that one who has known the truth must not sink into grief but become a support for those grieving around him.
