O son of Kunti, if you are killed, you will enter the heavenly worlds and if you gain victory, you will enjoy here in this world. Therefore, arise and fight with determination.
Bhagwan Shri Krishna continues to motivate Arjuna to fight the battle and let go of all the misconceptions that he has about slaying the enemies that are his family and friends.
Arjuna is in a state of grief because of the attachment to his relatives of the mortal body and thus he is not keen on fighting any of them on the battlefield.
Bhagwan Shri Krishna highlights the fact that it is the duty of a Kshatriya and a mighty warrior like Arjuna to fight this war.
