Word by Word

evam thus
bahu-vidhāḥ various kinds of
yajñāḥ sacrifices
vitatāḥ have been described
brahmaṇaḥ of the Vedas
mukhe through the mouth
karma-jān originating from works
viddhi know
tān them
sarvān all
evam thus
jñātvā having known
vimokṣhyase you shall be liberated
Simplified Perspective

Krishna reveals that all sacrifices—whether ritual, knowledge-based, or breath-based—flow from the mouth of Brahman, the eternal Vedas themselves. They are not random acts but expressions of cosmic order woven into existence.

When you understand that every action is ultimately a form of worship, that knowledge itself becomes the liberating fire that burns away ignorance and the illusion of separation. In your daily life, this means seeing your work, your relationships, your very breath as sacred offerings rather than mere obligations.
