And he who will study this sacred dialogue of ours, by him I shall have been worshipped by the sacrifice of wisdom, such is My conviction.

And whoever studies this sacred dialogue of ours, by him I shall be worshipped through the sacrifice of knowledge; that is my conviction.

Even one who simply studies this sacred dialogue (saṃvāda) between Krishna and Arjuna worships Krishna through the sacrifice of knowledge (jñāna-yajña). Krishna calls the conversation dharmya, in harmony with dharma. The verse treats careful study as an offering. Earlier in the dialogue Krishna had praised the sacrifice of knowledge above material sacrifices. Now reading and reflecting on the Gita itself is placed in that category.
