Krishna answers other doubts Arjuna has and one of them is about some people who think differently about sacrifice, and the other one is relinquishment. First he explains that there are three different types of faith, and that leads to three different types of people. The faith we have or the belief we believe in, makes us what we are: “The faith each man has, Arjuna, follows his degree of lucidity; a man consists of his faith, and as his faith is, so is he.” (131) according to Krishna there are people who are lucid, passionate and others that are darkly inert, and because each believe different things, they make sacrifices to different things. What Arjuna must have understood from what Krishna said, was that the ones that are lucid, sacrifice to the gods, sacrifices to the demons and spirits if they are very passionate, and to ghosts and corpses if they believe in the dark inertia. Then he talks about relinquishment, and tells Arjuna that it has also three kinds.
Last but not least, and to finish off, Krishna ends by restating about what he thinks are the most important things, such as the picture above shows. It mainly shows a cycle, and that the way I think Krishna taught Arjuna.
