Translation
The Blessed Lord said: "I shall declare once more that supreme knowledge — the highest of all knowledge — knowing which all the sages went from here to the supreme perfection."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. bhūyaḥ punaḥ pūrveṣu sarveṣv adhyāyeṣu asakṛt uktam api pravakṣyāmi — once again, even what has been said repeatedly in the earlier chapters; paraṃ paravastuviṣayatvāt — supreme because its subject is the supreme reality; uttamaṃ uttamaphalatvāt.
Acharya Ramanuja. paraṃ pūrvoktād anyat prakṛtipuruṣāntargatam eva sattvādiguṇaviṣayaṃ jñānam — different from what was said before, yet still within prakriti and purusha: the knowledge of the gunas, sattva and the rest; sarveṣāṃ prakṛtipuruṣaviṣayajñānānām uttamam.
