ye tu dharmyāmṛtam idaṁ yathoktaṁ paryupāsate | śraddadhānā matparamā bhaktās te ’tīva me priyāḥ ||

The core teaching is that God values faithful, sustained practice of the dharmic teaching—living it as instructed—more than mere knowledge or admiration; such devotees, who hold the Divine as their highest goal, become especially dear.
At the close of this teaching section, Kṛṣṇa summarizes by praising the devotees who adopt and practice the ‘nectar of dharma’ just as taught, marking them as supremely beloved—an affirming conclusion meant to inspire committed observance.
