' In This Form '...

"Not through study of the Vedas, not through austerity,
Not through gifts, and not through sacrifice
Can I be seen in this form
As you have beheld Me.

By undistracted [one-pointed] devotion [bhakti] alone
Can I be known,
And be truly seen in this form,
And be entered into, Arjuna."
