Krishna describes the internal, psychological mechanics of what happens when this soul takes its new birth. In that new body (tatra), the soul immediately regains and revives the connection to the supreme intelligence and consciousness (taṃ buddhi-saṃyogaṃ labhate) that it had acquired and cultivated in its previous physical body (paurva-dehikam). Re-armed with this innate wisdom, the soul then strives and endeavors (yatate ca) even more vigorously than before (tato bhūyaḥ) toward the ultimate perfection of liberation (saṃsiddhau), O beloved child of the Kurus (kuru-nandana).
