इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासतः । मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते ॥ १८ ॥
iti kṣhetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ choktaṁ samāsataḥ mad-bhakta etad vijñāya mad-bhāvāyopapadyate
Translation
Thus the field, knowledge and what is to be known have been briefly described. My devotee, understanding this, becomes fit for My state of being.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस प्रकार क्षेत्र, ज्ञान और ज्ञेय संक्षेप में कहे गए। मेरा भक्त इसे जानकर मेरे भाव (स्वरूप) को प्राप्त होने योग्य हो जाता है।
Commentary
This is a summary verse closing the first half of the chapter. Even in this most philosophical passage, the one who benefits is named as mad-bhakta, "My devotee." Knowledge and devotion are woven together again.
