Krishna offers a second, even higher possibility for the reincarnating Yogi (specifically one who advanced very far before failing). Or else (athavā), they take birth directly in the family or lineage of great Yogis (yoginām eva kule bhavati) who are endowed with profound, brilliant wisdom (dhīmatām). Krishna notes the extreme statistical rarity of this: Certainly, a birth of this exact kind (janma yad īdṛśam) is extraordinarily rare and incredibly difficult to obtain (etad dhi durlabha-taraṃ) in this material world (loke).
