In the magnificent conclusion to the Catur-ślokī (the four seed verses of the Gita), Krishna explains the final act of His grace. He says: purely out of unparalleled compassion and special mercy for those specific devotees (teṣām evānukampārtham), I, who am permanently situated within their very hearts and inner consciousness (ātma-bhāva-stho), personally destroy and annihilate (nāśayāmi) the dense darkness born of material ignorance (ajñāna-jaṃ tamaḥ). I do this by illuminating their inner world with the brilliantly shining lamp of perfect knowledge (jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā).
