Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]This is the Brahmic state, O Partha. Having attained to this, one is no more deluded. Established in this, even at the time of death, one attains to Brahman-Nirvana.
BG 2.72
एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति । स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ॥
eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṃ prāpya vimuhyati | sthitvāsyām anta-kāle 'pi brahma-nirvāṇam ṛcchati ||
"This is the Brahmic state. Attain it and you are never again deluded. Even at death — liberation."
