Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
परन्तु प्रयत्नपूर्वक अभ्यास करने वाला योगी, सम्पूर्ण पापों से शुद्ध होकर, अनेक जन्मों में सिद्ध होकर, परम गति (मोक्ष) को प्राप्त होता है।
English Translation
But the yogi who strives with effort, purified of all sins, and perfected through many births, then attains the supreme destination.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna reveals that spiritual perfection may take many lifetimes of persistent effort, but it is ultimately assured. The yogi who continues to strive with sincerity, becoming progressively purified, eventually reaches the supreme destination. This teaching gives both patience and hope — perfection may not come in one lifetime, but the journey continues without loss across births until the final goal is reached.
