श्लोक कहता है
Krishna said: Partha, there is no destruction for him, not here and not beyond. For nobody who does good, my friend, comes to a bad end.
सरल शब्दों में
The answer, and it arrives without qualification.
No destruction here. None afterwards. Nothing is lost.
And one word in the middle changes the temperature: tāta.
आपने इसे कहाँ महसूस किया है
Your father, who does not say warm things, uses your childhood name once during a hard conversation. It does more work than any of the advice does.
और गहराई में
Tāta is the word to notice, and most translations cannot carry it.
It is a term of affection used to a son, or to someone younger you are fond of — closest to my dear or my boy. Krishna has been addressing Arjuna by warrior epithets for six chapters. Here, answering the frightened question, he uses a family word.
The content matches it. Na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt kaścid durgatiṁ tāta gacchati — no one who does good comes to a bad end. No conditions, no minimum standard, no requirement to have finished.
That is a broader promise than the chapter had prepared anyone for. Thirty-nine verses of strict practice, and then the answer to what if I fail turns out to be that failing is not a category here.
And it is the answer to a specific fear rather than a general reassurance. Arjuna asked whether an unfinished attempt is wasted. The reply is that nothing good that was actually begun goes anywhere.
