Original Sanskrit · अर्जुनः

एतन्मे संशयं कृष्ण छेत्तुमर्हस्यशेषतः
त्वदन्यः संशयस्यास्य छेत्ता न ह्युपपद्यते
॥ 6.39 ॥

etanme saṃśayaṃ kṛṣṇa chettumarhasyaśeṣataḥ
tvadanyaḥ saṃśayasyāsya chettā na hyupapadyate

Translation

"O Krishna, You alone can cut through this doubt of mine completely; for apart from You, no one else can be found who can dispel this doubt."

Interpretation

Shankaracharya. Tvad-anyaḥ tvattaḥ anyaḥ ṛṣiḥ devo vā cchettā nāśayitā saṃśayasya asya na hi … upapadyate — no rishi or god other than You can destroy this doubt; ataḥ tvam eva chettum arhasi.

Acharya Ramanuja — why only Krishna. Svataḥ pratyakṣeṇa yugapat sarvaṃ sarvadā svata eva paśyataḥ tvattaḥ anyaḥ … na hi upapadyate — You see by Yourself, directly, all at once, everything, always — no one besides You is fit to cut through this doubt. The reason: this question concerns what happens hereafter, which only the all-knowing can tell.
