who saved Arjuna with the armour of Brahman-knowledge
The entirety of the Bhagavad Gītā is this name made event: Kṛṣṇa saves Arjuna from despondency through the armour of Brahman-knowledge (brahma-bodha); B.G 18.73 marks Arjuna's declaration that confusion is gone.
who took up the wheel for Bhīṣma's sake
M.B Bhīṣmaparva 59
who dissolved Arjuna's fatigue and despair
The Gītā's immediate effect: Arjuna declares all his grief (ayāsa = fatigue/grief) gone after B.G 18.73; Kṛṣṇa's teaching had dissolved the paralysis of the first chapter in a single extended discourse.
adorned with the fangs of time
the terrible face of the viśvarūpa
In the viśvarūpa (B.G 11), the cosmic form shows mouths with terrible fangs of time; Arjuna sees enemy armies rushing into those mouths like rivers into the sea; Kṛṣṇa declares 'I am time, destroyer of worlds.'
