Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
श्रीभगवान ने कहा — तुझ दोषदृष्टि रहित (अनसूया) भक्त को मैं इस गुह्यतम (अत्यन्त रहस्यमय) ज्ञान को विज्ञान सहित कहूँगा, जिसे जानकर तू अशुभ (संसार-बन्धन) से मुक्त हो जाएगा।
English Translation
The Blessed Lord said: To you who are free from envy, I shall now reveal this most secret knowledge combined with realized wisdom, knowing which you shall be freed from all misery and inauspiciousness.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna opens this chapter by declaring this teaching the most confidential of all. The qualifier 'anasuyave' (to the non-envious) is significant — this supreme knowledge can only be received by one whose heart is free from jealousy and fault-finding. The promise of liberation from all 'ashubha' (inauspiciousness) sets the tone for the entire chapter.
