10.14 I hold it to be true Arjuna speaks

सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव
न हि ते भगवन् व्यक्ितं विदुर्देवा न दानवाः

sarvam etad ṛitaṁ manye yan māṁ vadasi keśhava
na hi te bhagavan vyaktiṁ vidur devā na dānavāḥ

I hold all this that you say to me to be true, Krishna. Neither the gods nor the demons know your appearing.

Explanation

I hold all this to be true.

And then, immediately: neither the gods nor the demons know your appearing.

He is repeating 10.2 back. The assent is real and it is not credulous — he has followed the argument, including the part that says nobody can verify it.
