Explanation

Krishna describes those who seek release from old age and death by taking refuge in him. They come to know Brahman in its fullness, the adhyātma or inner self, and karma, action in its entirety. These technical terms are introduced here without explanation. They prompt Arjuna's questions at the start of the next chapter, where Krishna defines each of them. The verse thus works as a bridge, opening a fresh line of inquiry while closing the account of knowledge in this chapter.
