(All) the worlds including the world of Brahma are subject to return again, O Arjuna; but he who reaches Me, O son of Kunti, has no rirth.

All worlds up to the realm of Brahma are subject to return, Arjuna; but for one who comes to me, son of Kunti, there is no rebirth.

Krishna explains that all worlds, even up to the realm of Brahma, the creator god, are places from which beings return to rebirth. Heavenly worlds, however exalted, are still within the cycle. But for the one who reaches Krishna, there is no rebirth. The verse sharply distinguishes the highest goal from even the most glorious heavens. It echoes the Gita's earlier warning that rewards promised by ritual are limited, and it prepares for the vast picture of cosmic time that follows.
