Ramanuja's Gita Bhashyam - Chapter 4 - sloka 9


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Adidevananda's translation of Ramanuja Gita Bhashya, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

The Advent & acts of the Incarnation - 4-9
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 4 -JnanaKarmaSanyasa Yoga - Sloka 9
Kurukshetra
Janma karma cha me divyamevam yah vettti tattvatah I
Tyaktva deham punarjanma naiti mameti sah arjuna II sloka 9 
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यः वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।
त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति ममेति सः अर्जुन ।। श्लोक ९ 

He who thus knows My divine birth & action does not get rebirth after leaving the body;he will come to Me, O Arjuna

He who knows truly my life and actions,- supernatural and special to me, which are intended solely for the protection of the good and to enable them to take refuge in me - Me who am devoid of birth, unlike ordinary beings whose birth is caused by karma associated with prakriti and its 3 gunas producing the evil of bondage, and who is endowed with auspicious attributes such as Lordship over all omniscience, infallible will etc.- Such a person after abandoning the present body will never be born, but will reach me only. By true knowledge of my divine birth and acts, all his sins  standing in his way of taking refuge in me are destroyed. In this birth itself, resorting to me and loving me and concentrating on me alone, he reaches me.
