Sanskrit
ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते । एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥
jñānayajñena cāpy anye yajanto mām upāsate ekatvena pṛthaktvena bahudhā viśvatomukham
Translation
Others also, sacrificing with the sacrifice of wisdom, worship Me as the One and the Manifold everywhere present.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
Introduces a second mode of worship alongside the devotion of verses 13-14 — “the sacrifice of wisdom” (jñāna-yajñena), worshipping Krishna as simultaneously the One and the Manifold. It’s a notably non-exclusive move: the chapter doesn’t insist on a single correct metaphysics of Krishna, monist or pluralist, only that the worship be genuine — which opens the door to the more expansive identifications of verses 16-19.
