Commentary (टीका)
Krishna summarizes the three topics covered so far — the field (body-mind), knowledge (the twenty virtues), and the knowable (Brahman). The one who understands these through devotion attains the divine nature of Krishna. This shows that intellectual understanding must be combined with devotion for complete realization.
