Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the supremacy and all-inclusiveness of the vision of the Lord: realizing/seeing Vāsudeva fully is presented as equivalent to having seen all the highest deities, emphasizing a unifying devotional focus.
Īśvara addresses a group of sages, concluding or reaffirming an instruction by stating that he has explained the proper path; he then states the fruit of that path—complete vision of the Lord—by which the vision of all eminent gods is implicitly attained.
