अध्येष्यते च य इमं धर्म्यं संवादमावयोः | ज्ञानयज्ञेन तेनाहमिष्टः स्यामिति मे मतिः
adhyeṣyate ca ya imaṃ dharmyaṃ saṃvādamāvayoḥ . jñānayajñena tenāhamiṣṭaḥ syāmiti me matiḥ
凡是研習我倆之間這段有益於達摩(正法)的聖潔對話之人,我將被他以「知識瑜伽」(智識祭祀)的方式所崇拜。此乃我的信念。
And he who will study this sacred conversation between us two, which is conducive to virtue, by him I shall be adored through the Sacrifice in the form of Knowledge. This is My judgement.
祭祀有四種:儀式祭(Vidhi)、持誦祭(Japa)、低語祭(Upamsu)和心意祭(Manasa)。儀式祭是依規矩行事;持誦祭是唸誦真言;低語祭是輕聲持誦。在這四種之中,「知識瑜伽」(JnanaYajna)或稱智慧祭祀,屬於心意祭,因此是最高等的。《薄伽梵歌》被讚譽為一種「知識瑜伽」。凡以信心和虔敬研習此經文者,將獲得等同於實踐「知識瑜伽」或冥想神祇等所帶來的果報。
There are four kinds of sacrifice -- Vidhi? Japa? Upamsu and Manasa. Vidhi is ritual. Japa is recitation of a Mantra. Upamsu is Japa done in a whisper. Of the four kinds? JnanaYajna or the wisdomsacrifice comes under Manasa and is? therefore? the highest. The Gita is eulogised as a JnanaYajna. He who studies this scripture with faith and devotion will attain the fruit that is eal to that of performing JnanaYajna or meditation on a deity and the like.
