Others also sacrificing with the wisdom-sacrifice worship Me, the All-faced, as one, as distinct, and as manifold.

Others, offering the sacrifice of knowledge, worship me as one, as distinct, and in many ways, as facing in every direction.

Krishna mentions others who worship him through jñāna-yajña, the sacrifice of knowledge. They approach him as one, as distinct, and in many forms, as the one whose face is turned in every direction. Traditions read the three phrases in different ways, often relating them to understanding the divine as identical with the self, as distinct from it, or as present in all forms. The verse is notable for its breadth: Krishna recognizes several ways of conceiving and approaching the highest, without forcing them into one.
