Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That, established in That, with That for their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.

With their understanding fixed on that, their self in that, devoted to that and holding it as their highest aim, their impurities washed away by knowledge, they go to the state from which there is no return.

Krishna describes those who reach the goal. Their understanding (buddhi) rests on that supreme reality; their self is absorbed in it; they are established in it and take it as their final refuge. Their impurities have been shaken off by knowledge (jñāna). Such people reach apunarāvṛtti, the state from which there is no return to the round of birth and death (saṃsāra). The fourfold repetition of tat, that, emphasises a total orientation of the person toward the highest, in thought, being, commitment and refuge.
