Origin & Story
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, Verse 9 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)
In the fourth chapter, Jnana-Karma-Sannyasa Yoga, Krishna reveals the secret of his divine descents across the ages to protect righteousness. Having declared that he appears age after age to uphold dharma, he assures Arjuna that those who grasp the transcendental nature of his birth and works are liberated from rebirth and attain him directly.
✦ As told in scripture
Devotees through the ages have found that meditating on this verse — knowing the Lord's birth and deeds as wholly divine — kindled an unshakable faith, and saints declare that such true knowledge of Krishna's descent severs the bondage of rebirth and leads the soul home to his eternal abode.
