Ch 13•Verse 19
Adhyāya 13 • Shloka 19

इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासतः | मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते || १९ ||

iti kṣetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ coktaṁ samāsataḥ | mad-bhakta etad vijñāya mad-bhāvāyopapadyate || 19 ||

"Thus the field of activities [the body], knowledge, and the knowable have been summarily described by Me. Only My devotees can understand this thoroughly and thus attain to My nature."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna concludes this specific sub-section of Chapter 13. He summarizes that He has briefly described the 'field' (the 24 elements of matter), the process of 'knowledge' (the virtues like humility), and the 'knowable' (the Supersoul). He then states a strict condition: only His devoted servants (mad-bhakta) can deeply comprehend this and ultimately attain His spiritual nature (mad-bhāvāya).
