THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.
यस्मात्क्षरमतीतोऽहमक्षरादपि चोत्तमः । अतोऽस्मि लोके वेदे च प्रथितः पुरुषोत्तमः ॥ १८ ॥

Since I excel the destructible, and am more excellent also than the indestructible, in the world and in the Veda I am proclaimed the Supreme Spirit.[1] (18)

यो मामेवमसंमूढो जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम् । स सर्वविद्भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत ॥ १९ ॥

He who undeluded knoweth Me thus as the Supreme Spirit[1], he, all-knowing, worshippeth Me with his whole being, O Bhârata. (19)

इति गुह्यतमं शास्त्रमिदमुक्तं मयाऽनघ । एतद्‌बुध्वा बुद्धिमान् स्यात्कृतकृत्यश्च भारत ॥ २० ॥


Thus by Me this most secret teaching hath been told O sinless one. This known, he hath become illuminated and hath finished his work, O Bhârata. (20)
