जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः । त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सोऽर्जुन ॥
janma karma ca me divyam evaṃ yo vetti tattvataḥ | tyaktvā dehaṃ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna ||
"Whoever truly knows My divine birth and action — leaving the body, they do not return. They come to Me."
