Translation

And he who studies this sacred dialogue of ours, by him I shall have been worshipped through the sacrifice of wisdom; such is my conviction.

Hindi translation

जो मनुष्य हम दोनोंके इस धर्ममय संवादका अध्ययन करेगा, उसके द्वारा भी मैं ज्ञानयज्ञसे पूजित होऊँगा -- ऐसा मेरा मत है।

Meaning

There are four kinds of sacrifice -- Vidhi, Japa, Upamsu and Manasa. Vidhi is ritual. Japa is recitation of a Mantra. Upamsu is Japa done in a whisper. Of the four kinds, JnanaYajna or the wisdomsacrifice comes under Manasa and is, therefore, the highest. The Gita is eulogised as a JnanaYajna. He who studies this scripture with faith and devotion will attain the fruit that is eal to that of performing JnanaYajna or meditation on a deity and the like.
