Translation
But by devotion to Me alone I may thus be perceived, Arjuna, and known and seen in essence, and entered, O Parantapa.

Explanation
This is the verse the whole chapter has been quietly building toward since Krishna first mentioned “prasannena,” by my grace, back in verse 47 — “ananyayā bhaktyā,” by undivided devotion, named at last as the one path that works where study, sacrifice, austerity, and charity all failed. There’s no dedicated concept page for bhakti in this collection yet, so it’s worth being explicit about what the word is doing here: not generic piety, but “ananya,” a devotion with no other object, admitting no rival claim on attention. The three verbs stacked at the end — jñātum, to know; draṣṭum, to see; praveṣṭum, to enter — trace an escalating intimacy, from intellectual grasp, to direct perception, to something closer to union, and bhakti alone is credited with reaching all three.
