知曉此理後,瑜伽士(Yogi)超越了吠陀(Vedas)、祭祀、苦行以及布施所宣稱的一切功德果報,並達致那原始至高之境。
Having known this, the yogi transcends all those results of rigtheous deeds that are declared with regard to the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities and also charities, and he reaches the primordial supreme State.
此節描述了「瑜伽」(Yoga)的榮耀。無論經典中宣稱,正確研讀吠陀(Vedas)、妥善舉行祭祀、實踐苦行所能獲得的任何功德果報——超越所有這些的,是那正確理解並遵循主奎師那(Lord Krishna)回答阿周那(Arjuna)七個問題所傳授教誨,並冥想梵(Brahman)的瑜伽士(Yogi)。他達致梵(Brahman)的至高居所,此居所自始(原始)即已存在,且是最初或古老的。「知曉此理」(Idam Viditva):即正確知曉主在章初回答阿周那七個問題的答案。

He attains to the Supreme Abode of Brahman Which existed even in the beginning (primeval)? and is the first or ancient.Idam Viditva Having known this. Having known properly the answers given by the Lord to the seven estions put by Arjuna at the beginning of this chapter.(This chapter is known by the name Abhyasa Yoga also.)Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the eighth discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman. ,
