Verse 76

The Yoga of Liberation through Renunciation

O King, again and again recalling this most wonderful and holy dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, I rejoice — again and again and again.

Context & Meaning

Sanjaya cannot contain his joy. Saṃsmṛtya saṃsmṛtya — remembering again, and again. Muhur muhuḥ — again and again. The repetition in the verse is not stylistic excess; it is the honest expression of what sacred remembrance does to a prepared heart. The Gita does not exhaust itself. Each time Sanjaya returns to this dialogue in his memory, it gives more. This is the nature of shabda pramana — the living word of the Lord: it deepens with each encounter, reveals more of itself the more sincerely one approaches it. Sanjaya's recurring joy is the promise made to every devotee who returns to the Gita again and again throughout a lifetime.
