मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु | मामेवैष्यसि सत्यं ते प्रतिजाने प्रियोऽसि मे
manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṃ namaskuru . māmevaiṣyasi satyaṃ te pratijāne priyo.asi me
ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಡು, ನನ್ನ ಭಕ್ತನಾಗು, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಪೂಜಿಸು, ನನಗೆ ನಮಸ್ಕರಿಸು. ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನೇ ಸೇರುವೆ. ನೀನು ನನಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯನಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಈ ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿನಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
Have your mind fixed on Me, be My devotee, be a sacrificer to Me and bow down to Me. (Thus) you will come to Me alone. (This) truth do I pormise to you. (For) you are dear to Me.
ಅರ್ಜುನ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿರಗೊಳಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನ ಭಕ್ತನಾಗಿ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಆರಾಧಿಸುತ್ತಾ, ನನಗೆ ಶರಣಾಗು. ಆಗ ನೀನು ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ತಲುಪುವೆ. ಇದು ನನ್ನ ದೃಢವಾದ ಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞೆ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ನೀನು ನನಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಪ್ರಿಯನಾಗಿದ್ದೀಯೆ.
Develop onepointedness of mind. Fix thy thought on Me. If the mind wanders bring it again and again to the centre or point or object of meditation? through constant practice. Offer all thy actions to Me. Let thy tongue utter My name. Let thy hands work for Me. Let thy feet move for Me. Let all thy actions be for Me. Give up hatred towards any living creature. Bow down to Me. Then thou wilt attain Me.The Lord gives Arjuna His definite word of promise or solemn declaration. Having received My grace thou wilt gain complete knowledge of Me and that in itself will indeed lead to thy absorption into My Being.O Arjuna? looking up to Me alone as thy aim and the sole refuge? thou shalt assuredly come to,Me.Have faith in the words of the Lord and make a solemn promise. Take the Lord as your sole refuge. You will attain final emancipation.The secret of devotion is to take the Lord as your sole refuge. In the next verse the Lord proceeds to speak of the gist of selfsurrender. (Cf.IX.34XII.8)
