अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः ।तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥
ananyacetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥ |tasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nityayuktasya yoginaḥ ||
For the yogi who always remembers me, with a mind turned to nothing else, constantly and every day, I am easy to reach, Arjuna.
हे अर्जुन, जो योगी किसी और की ओर ध्यान न देकर हमेशा और हर दिन मुझे याद करता है, उस सदा जुड़े हुए योगी के लिए मैं सहज प्राप्य हूँ।
अर्जुना, जो योगी दुसरीकडे मन न लावता सतत, नित्य माझे स्मरण करतो, त्या सदा युक्त योग्याला मी सहज प्राप्त होतो.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः ।तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥
ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन् ।
uttering Om, the single syllable that is Brahman, and remembering me, whoever departs leaving the body reaches the highest goal.
8.15मामुपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दुःखालयमशाश्वतम् ।
Having come to me, these great souls who have reached the highest perfection do not take birth again in this passing world, which is a home of sorrow.
