Explication
Krishna names the fruit of going beyond the qualities. The body itself arises from the three qualities, but the embodied self that transcends them is freed from birth, death, ageing and suffering, and tastes amṛta, immortality. This answers the list of sorrows that appeared in the previous chapter, where reflecting on birth, death, age and sickness was named part of knowledge. Here the release from them is promised. The verse also prompts Arjuna's next question: if one can go beyond the qualities, how would such a person be recognised?
