Chapter V · Śloka 29
Śrī Kṛṣṇa uvāca
भोक्तारं यज्ञतपसां सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् |
सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति ||
सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति ||
bhoktāraṃ yajña-tapasāṃ sarva-loka-maheśvaram |
suhṛdaṃ sarva-bhūtānāṃ jñātvā māṃ śāntim ṛcchati ||
suhṛdaṃ sarva-bhūtānāṃ jñātvā māṃ śāntim ṛcchati ||
Knowing Me as the enjoyer of all sacrifices and austerities, the great Lord of all worlds, and the dear friend of all beings — one attains peace.
The chapter closes with three recognitions: the divine as the true enjoyer of all offering, as the sovereign over all realms, and as the intimate friend of every being without exception. To know this — not merely as doctrine but in the heart — is peace.
