nāhaṃ vedair na tapasā na dānena na cejyayā |
śakya evaṃ vidho draṣṭuṃ dṛṣṭavān asi yan mama || 53 ||
53. Not through the Vedas, nor by austerities, nor by charity, nor by the performance of
sacrifices, can I be seen in such a form as You have seen Me.
bhaktyā tv-ananyayā śakya aham evaṃ vidho ‘rjuna |
jñātuṃ draṣṭuṃ ca tattvena praveṣṭuṃ ca paraṅtapa || 54 ||
54. But by single-minded devotion, O Arjuna, it is possible to truly know, to see and to enter
into Me, who am of this form, O harasser of foes!
