Text

I am the enjoyer and objective of the sacrifices performed by persons of action, and of the austerities performed by persons of knowledge. I am NÄrÄyaṇ, the indwelling monitor of all planes of life, the worshippable Supreme Personality who awards liberation. I am Kṛṣṇa, the well-wisher of all and the dear friend of the devotees. One who knows Me thus, attains the bliss of knowing his own original divine identity.
