Krishna reveals the response of wise devotees. 'Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ'—I am the source of all. 'Mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate'—everything proceeds from Me. This summarizes what Krishna has been teaching: He is the source of all qualities, gods, sages, and beings. 'Iti matvā'—understanding this. The wise (budhāḥ) don't just know this intellectually—they understand it deeply. 'Bhajante mām'—they worship Me. 'Bhāva-samanvitāḥ'—with minds absorbed in devotion. This shows the natural response: when you truly understand that everything comes from the Supreme, you worship with loving devotion. Not out of obligation, but out of recognition—seeing the source in everything, you naturally turn to the source.
