महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः | भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्ययम्
mahātmānastu māṃ pārtha daivīṃ prakṛtimāśritāḥ . bhajantyananyamanaso jñātvā bhūtādimavyayam
帕爾特哈啊,那些偉大靈魂者,依循神聖本性,以專一之心崇拜我,深知我乃萬物不朽之源。
O son of Prtha, the noble ones, being possessed of divine nature, surely adore Me with single-mindedness, knowing Me as the immutable source of all objects.
「深知萬物不朽之源」亦可解釋為:深知我乃眾生之源頭,且永不毀滅。「神聖本性」指神性或悅性本質。那些具備神聖本性、自我節制、慈悲、信念、純潔等美德之人,即是偉大靈魂者。偉大靈魂者是那些心靈純淨,被我視為特殊居所的人;我居於他們純淨的心中,他們對我懷有真誠的奉獻。具備神聖悅性本質、心靈純淨並擁有自性知識者,即是摩訶阿特曼(Mahātmā)。「眾生」指所有有情眾生以及五大元素。
