But those devotees who, full of faith and having Me as supreme goal, practice this dharmāmṛta according to what is prescribed — they are extremely dear to Me.

Culminating verse of Bhakti Yoga. Dharmāmṛtam — “nectar of dharma” — identifies this teaching as immortality itself. To practice it is to drink the elixir of eternal life.

The clause yathoktam — “according to what is said” — emphasizes the importance of following authorized tradition. Good intention is not enough; guidance from those who have walked the path is required.

Atīva me priyāḥ — “extremely dear to Me” — expresses the mutual love between devotee and Divine. Bhakti is not a path of servitude, but of loving relationship where both parties delight in each other.
