"If the Sadhyas and Rudras, the Vasus with the Ashvins, the Maruts with Indra, the Vishvedevas and the Asuras, the ancestors with the Gandharvas, the Suparnas, the oceans and mountains, heaven, the expanse and this earth, the directions with their lords, the beings of village and forest, unmoving and moving — should all become the protectors of the king of Sindhu, O Madhusudana — even then, tomorrow, you will see him struck down by my arrows in battle. By truth I swear to you, O Krishna, and thus I touch my weapon [in oath]."

Having enumerated all of creation — from gods and ancestors to the creatures of village and forest, the unmoving and the moving — Arjuna concludes: let all of it become a shield for his enemy, the outcome is unalterable. The vow is sealed ritually: "satyena te śape… āyudham ālabhe", "by truth I swear… I touch my weapon." It is telling that the word is given precisely to Krishna, the Lord: the vow is entrusted to the One who will also fulfill it. The verse teaches that a will in harmony with dharma and with God does not yield even before the whole of creation: once a vow is sworn to God by truth, no conceivable defense of the enemy can outweigh it.
