Neither by the Vedas nor by austerity, nor by gift, nor by sacrifice can I be seen in this form as thou hast seen Me (so easily).

Not through the Vedas, nor austerity, nor gifts, nor sacrifice can I be seen in the way you have seen me.

Krishna repeats, in a shorter line, what he said a few verses earlier: neither the Vedas, nor austerity, nor charity, nor sacrifice (yajña) can lead to seeing him as Arjuna has. The repetition is purposeful. It clears the ground for the answer that follows. If none of these means is sufficient on its own, what is? The verse holds the listener in suspense for a moment. It also reminds Arjuna that his experience cannot be reduced to the results of correct practice; something else made it possible, which Krishna is about to name.
