Prayatnad Yatamanash Tu

This shloka brings the thread to its conclusion. The yogi who strives earnestly, life after life, gradually sheds every impurity. Over the course of many births — aneka-janma — the practice deepens, the understanding ripens, and perfection is reached. Then comes the supreme destination: param gatim.

The phrase 'aneka-janma-samsiddha' is worth sitting with. Many births. Not one. Not two. Many. Krishna is describing a long road. But the destination is certain. Every step taken in any lifetime counts toward the final arrival. No step is lost. No effort dissolves.

This is the complete answer to Arjuna's fear. The torn cloud does not vanish. It gathers again, grows, and eventually brings rain. The journey may span lifetimes, but it ends in the supreme — param gatim.

This shloka closes the section that began with Arjuna's anxious question in 6.37. The full arc: 6.40 gave reassurance (no good effort is wasted). 6.41-42 described the favorable rebirths. 6.43-44 explained how past practice carries forward. 6.45 names the final result: the supreme goal.

The compound 'aneka-janma-samsiddha' — perfected across many births — makes clear that spiritual realization is understood as a long journey in the Gita's framework. But the certainty of the outcome is equally emphasized: param gatim is guaranteed for the one who keeps striving.
