Commentary (टीका)
The chapter concludes with Krishna's magnificent declaration that He is the very foundation of Brahman, immortality, eternal dharma, and unconditional bliss. This establishes the personal God (Krishna) as the ground of the impersonal Absolute (Brahman). Devotion to Krishna therefore naturally leads to Brahman-realization, as the personal and impersonal are not separate but two aspects of the same ultimate reality.
