Sarvam Etad Ritam Manye

Arjuna's statement here carries a rare kind of weight. He says: O Keshava, everything You are telling me, I accept as entirely true. This is shraddha — faith. Not blind belief, but a trust that comes after listening carefully, weighing the evidence, and recognizing the teacher's integrity.

He then adds: neither the gods nor the demons can know Your true form. This echoes what Krishna Himself said in 10.2. But now the words come from Arjuna's own mouth. What was heard has been internalized. What was received has become conviction.

This is the third part of Arjuna's response (10.12, 10.13, 10.14). It began with praise, moved to evidence, and now arrives at faith. From the next shloka, Arjuna will begin asking questions.

The balance between faith and knowledge is one of the Gita's recurring themes. Shloka 10.14 is the moment where both come together in a single utterance.
