Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जो जानने योग्य है उसे मैं बताता हूँ, जिसे जानकर मनुष्य अमृत प्राप्त करता है — वह अनादि परब्रह्म न सत् कहा जाता है, न असत्।
English Translation
I shall declare that which is to be known, knowing which one attains immortality — the beginningless Supreme Brahman, which is said to be neither existent nor non-existent.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna now describes the Knowable — the Supreme Brahman. It is beginningless, meaning it has no origin and is eternal. It transcends the categories of existence and non-existence as understood by the limited human mind. Knowing this Brahman directly leads to immortality and freedom from the cycle of birth and death.
