कीदृशेन अविकम्पेन योगेन युज्यते इत्युच्यते —
अहं परं ब्रह्म वासुदेवाख्यं सर्वस्य जगतः प्रभवः उत्पत्तिः । मत्तः एव स्थितिनाशक्रियाफलोपभोगलक्षणं विक्रियारूपं सर्वं जगत् प्रवर्तते । इति एवं मत्वा भजन्ते सेवंते मां बुधाः अवगतपरमार्थतत्त्वाः, भावसमन्विताः भावः भावना परमार्थतत्त्वाभिनिवेशः तेन समन्विताः संयुक्ताः इत्यर्थः ॥ ८ ॥
In plain words
What kind of unwavering yoga is it that one is joined to? That is what is said next —
I am the supreme Brahman, known as Vāsudeva, the very source from which this whole world arises. From me alone, this entire ever-changing world — with all its coming-to-be and passing away, its actions and the fruits we live out — proceeds. Knowing this, the wise, who have grasped the truth of the highest reality, worship me with hearts wholly given over to that absorption in what is ultimately real.
Close to the Sanskrit
By what kind of unwavering yoga is one joined — thus it is said —
I am the supreme Brahman, called Vāsudeva, the origin, the source, of the entire world; from me alone this whole world, characterized by the persisting, perishing, action, and the enjoyment of fruit, having the nature of transformation, proceeds. Thinking thus, the wise, who have understood the truth of the highest reality, worship, serve, me, endowed with bhāva — bhāva being the disposition, the absorption in the truth of the highest reality — by that endowed, joined; this is the meaning.
