Word by Word

iti thus
kṣhetram the nature of the field
tathā and

cha and
uktam revealed
samāsataḥ in summary
mat-bhaktaḥ my devotee

vijñāya having understood

Simplified Perspective

Krishna closes His revelation of the field and the knower with a sacred summary: understand the nature of matter, the consciousness that witnesses it, and what is worth knowing, and you have understood My very being. This is not intellectual knowledge alone—it is the lived recognition that dissolves the boundary between knower and known.

For the modern seeker, this means that every moment of clarity about what is temporary and what is eternal is an act of communion with the divine itself.
