Jñāna Yoga · Verse 9
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः | त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सोऽर्जुन
janma karma ca me divyam evaṃ yo vetti tattvataḥ | tyaktvā dehaṃ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna
Whoever thus knows in truth my divine birth and action, upon leaving the body does not return to birth, but comes to me, oh Arjuna.
Fruit of knowledge of the avatāra. Divyam — divine, transcendent — indicates the mystical nature of Kṛṣṇa’s birth and action.
Tattvataḥ — in truth, essentially — distinguishes superficial knowledge from realization. Na eti punar janma — does not go to new birth — is liberation (mokṣa). Mām eti — comes to me — indicates union, not mere cessation. Knowing divinity implies participating in it.
