Out of mere compassion for them, I, dwelling within their Self, destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp of knowledge.

Out of compassion for them alone, I, dwelling within their own being, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the shining lamp of knowledge.

Krishna completes the group of four verses with an image of light. Out of compassion, he dwells within the devotee's own being and dispels the darkness that ignorance produces, using the bright lamp of knowledge (jñāna). The phrase ātma-bhāva-sthaḥ, abiding in their inner being, places the divine not far off but within the person. The verse rounds off the movement begun earlier: knowledge leads to love, love draws a further gift of understanding, and that understanding finally removes ignorance from inside. Devotion and knowledge again work together rather than apart.
