Freed from attachment, fear and anger, absorbed in Me, taking refuge in Me, purified by the fire of knowledge, many have attained to My Being.

Free from passion, fear and anger, absorbed in me and taking refuge in me, many, purified by the discipline of knowledge, have come to my state of being.

Krishna reassures Arjuna that this path is not theoretical; many have walked it. Freed from attachment, fear and anger, wholly absorbed in him and resting in him, purified by jñānatapas, the austerity of knowledge, they have reached madbhāva, his own state or nature. The verse joins knowledge and devotion: purification comes through knowledge (jñāna), while absorption and refuge describe a devotional relationship. Traditions differ on what reaching his state means, union or nearness, but the verse affirms the goal as real and attainable.
