Ch 15Verse 20
Adhyāya 15 Shloka 20

इति गुह्यतमं शास्त्रमिदमुक्तं मयानघ | एतद्बुद्ध्वा बुद्धिमान्स्यात्कृतकृत्यश्च भारत || २० ||

iti guhyatamaṁ śāstram idam uktaṁ mayānagha | etad buddhvā buddhimān syāt kṛta-kṛtyaś ca bhārata || 20 ||

"This is the most confidential part of the Vedic scriptures, O sinless one, and it is disclosed now by Me. Whoever understands this will become wise, and his endeavors will know perfection."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna concludes Chapter 15 with a powerful validation of the knowledge He just shared. He calls this specific teaching (the 15th chapter) the 'guhyatamaṁ śāstram'—the most secret, confidential, and profound part of all Vedic scripture. He addresses Arjuna as 'anagha' (sinless), indicating the purity required to receive such secrets. Finally, He guarantees that whoever deeply understands (buddhvā) this truth becomes truly intelligent (buddhimān) and achieves ultimate perfection in all their endeavors (kṛta-kṛtyaś).
