12.7
तेषामहं समुद्धर्ता मृत्युसंसारसागरात् ।
भवामि नचिरात्पार्थ मय्यावेशितचेतसाम् ॥
teṣām ahaṃ samuddhartā mṛtyusaṃsārasāgarāt
bhavāmi na cirāt pārtha mayy āveśitacetasām
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) continues, to Pārtha (पार्थ), and teṣām (तेषाम्) is the ye (ये) of 12.6.
The verse
For them I become, before long, the one who lifts them out of the ocean of death and of the wandering, Pārtha (पार्थ) — for those whose mind has been placed in me.
नेपालीमा
हे पार्थ, जसको मन ममा राखिएको छ, तिनीहरूका लागि म छिट्टै मृत्यु र भटकनको समुद्रबाट उठाउने बन्छु।
Where it sits
12.6 said what they do. This verse says what he does in answer. The manifest worship is not only the better knowing. It is a rescue, and it is soon.

Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| देवनागरी | Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| तेषाम् | teṣām | genitive plural | of them. For them. |
| अहम् | aham | nominative | I. |
| समुद्धर्ता | samuddhartā | nominative of samuddhartṛ (समुद्धर्तृ) | the one who lifts up. sam (सम्) + ud (उद्) + dhṛ (धृ), "draw up." |
| मृत्यु-संसार-सागरात् | mṛtyu-saṃsāra-sāgarāt | ablative singular | from the ocean of death and of the wandering. saṃsāra (संसार) is the going round. sāgara (सागर) is the ocean. |
| भवामि | bhavāmi | present, 1st singular | I become. |
| न | na | indeclinable | not. |
| चिरात् | cirāt | ablative of cira (चिर) | from a long time. |
| पार्थ | pārtha | vocative | Pārtha (पार्थ), son of Pṛthā (पृथा). Arjuna (अर्जुन). |
| मयि | mayi | locative | in me. |
| आवेशित-चेतसाम् | āveśita-cetasām | genitive plural, bahuvrīhi (बहुव्रीहि) | of those whose mind has been placed in. āveśita (आवेशित) is the causative participle, "caused to enter." |
The phrases
तेषाम् अहम् समुद्धर्ता मृत्युसंसारसागरात् भवामि teṣām ahaṃ samuddhartā mṛtyusaṃsārasāgarāt bhavāmi is what he does for them. I become the one who lifts them up out of the ocean of death and of the wandering. samuddhartā (समुद्धर्ता) is the predicate of bhavāmi (भवामि). aham (अहम्) is the subject.
na cirāt pārtha (न चिरात् पार्थ) is when. Not from a long time out: soon. The vocative turns the promise to the man in the chariot.
mayi āveśitacetasām (मयि आवेशितचेतसाम्) repeats whose people these are. The mind has been made to enter him. It is the same placing as āveśya (आवेश्य) in 12.2, now a participle describing them. मयि + आवेशित mayi + āveśita is mayyāveśita (मय्यावेशित).
Sanskrit in this line
-sāgarāt (सागरात्) is ablative, "out of the ocean." The ablative with a verb of lifting answers "from where." na cirāt (न चिरात्) is the same case used of time: "not from a long while," which is soon. One ending, two questions, from-where and how-soon.
Say it back
Who lifts, out of what, and how soon. If samuddhartā (समुद्धर्ता) is said of Arjuna (अर्जुन), the rescuer was swapped.
