Arjuna expresses extreme frustration. He accuses Krishna of using 'vyāmiśreṇeva vākyena' (mixed, equivocal, or confusing words) which are bewildering his intellect (buddhiṃ mohayasīva me). Because he feels incapable of synthesizing Krishna's nuanced teachings on knowledge and action, he begs for a silver bullet. He demands: 'Tell me ONE thing decisively (tad ekaṃ vada niścitya) by which I can attain the highest good (śreyas).'
