Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
हे अर्जुन! मेरा जन्म और कर्म दिव्य है — जो इसे तत्त्व से जानता है, वह शरीर छोड़कर पुनर्जन्म को नहीं प्राप्त होता, बल्कि मुझे प्राप्त होता है।
English Translation
He who knows in truth the divine nature of My birth and activities, upon leaving the body, is not born again — he comes to Me, O Arjuna.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna reveals that understanding the transcendental nature of His incarnation and activities liberates one from the cycle of birth and death. His birth is not material but divine (divyam), and true knowledge of this mystery grants moksha. This verse emphasizes that devotional understanding of God's nature is itself a path to liberation.
