Bhagavad Gita, verse 13.4 (often numbered 13.5 in some translations due to verse-count differences) reads:
“This has been sung by many sages in many ways, in various distinctive chants, and also decisively explained in the aphorisms of the Brahma Sutras, full of reasoning and certainty.”
A common Sanskrit transliteration is:
ṛṣibhir bahudhā gītaṁ chandobhir vividhaiḥ pṛthak
brahma-sūtra-padaiś caiva hetumadbhir viniścitaiḥ
Context (Chapter 13):
This verse appears in the discussion of Kṣetra (the “field,” meaning the body/material nature) and Kṣetrajña (the “knower of the field,” consciousness/self). Krishna says that this knowledge has already been taught by sages, the Vedas, and reasoned philosophical texts.
Different editions number this verse differently:
- 13.4 in many Sanskrit editions
- 13.5 in some English translations (because the preceding verse numbering differs)
If you want, I can also give a word-by-word meaning or explain the philosophical significance in simple terms.
