Gita Mahatmya

Varāha Purāṇa, Gītā-māhātmya 8

These verses glorify the Bhagavad-gītā. They come from other scriptures and are not verses of the Bhagavad-gītā itself. Each one carries its own source.

1. Gītā-māhātmya

   गीता मे परमा विद्या ब्रह्मरूपा न संशयः ।
   अर्धमात्राक्षरा नित्या स्वानिर्वाच्यपदात्मिका ॥

   gītā me paramā vidyā brahmarūpā na saṁśayaḥ
   ardhamātrākṣarā nityā svānirvācyapadātmikā

   The Gītā is My highest knowledge. Without any doubt, it is spiritual (brahma-rūpā). It is eternal, it is one with the sacred syllable oṁ, and its words show the supreme abode that no words can fully describe.
