13.19 So it has been told Krishna speaks

इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासतः
मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते

iti kṣhetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ choktaṁ samāsataḥ
mad-bhakta etad vijñāya mad-bhāvāyopapadyate

So the field, and knowledge, and what is to be known, have been told in brief. My devotee, understanding this, comes to my own state.

Explanation

The summary, and a small word doing a lot.

Field, knowledge, and what is to be known, told in brief. My devotee, understanding this, comes to my own state.

Note who is addressed. After the most abstract stretch in the book, the person who arrives is the devotee — not the analyst — which is the same handover chapter 14 makes at its end.
