किं पुनर्ब्राह्मणाः पुण्या भक्ता राजर्षयस्तथा

How much more, then, the holy brahmins and the royal sages who are devoted. Having come into this impermanent and joyless world, be devoted to me.

“This I have gained today; this wish I shall obtain. This is mine, and this wealth also will be mine.

आहारस्त्वपि सर्वस्य त्रिविधो भवति प्रियः

Even the food each person likes is of three kinds — and so are offering, austerity and giving. Hear how they differ.

And one who studies this dialogue of ours, which is holy, worships me by the offering of knowledge. This is my view.

O king, recalling again and again this wonderful and holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I rejoice again and again.
