Kṛṣṇa had first said, “I am the Satya, the eternal substance, which is Sat, Cit and Ānanda!” and, beating His chest, had declared, “I am imperishable; I am one who has neither birth nor death.” When He now says, “The perishable, unstable body too am I,” anyone at all cannot help having doubts. How could the head not grow heavy? Watching this change in Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa Paramātma smiles all the more. At this, shame, anger and doubt, all three, came together in Arjuna, and he stares like a madman.
