tatra taṁ buddhi-sanyogaṁ labhate paurva-dehikam
yatate cha tato bhūyaḥ sansiddhau kuru-nandana
There he recovereth the characteristics belonging to this former body, and with these he again laboureth for perfection, O joy of the Kurus.
In plain words: Krishna says that in the new life, the person gets back the spiritual progress they made before. With it, they work toward perfection once again.
