How to read this
How to chant: each line is one pāda (quarter-verse); chant it in one breath. The hyphen (-) divides the syllables, inside a word and across a sandhi join, so every pāda shows its 8 syllables (11 in triṣṭubh verses). A consonant cluster is divided after its first consonant (kar-ma, vet-ti): that syllable is held longer. Mark above a syllable: guru, long (two beats); laghu, short (one beat). | closes the half-verse, || the verse; the number is the syllable count of the pāda.

Context
Krishna states the fruit of knowing his manifestations.
Meaning
Vibhūti means the Divine’s glorious manifestations; yoga here means its mysterious power to manifest. One who knows these tattvataḥ, in truth, becomes established in avikampa yoga, unshakable union. Knowing the Divine in all things steadies the mind permanently.
When we see the Divine everywhere, nothing can shake our connection with it. Every experience becomes a reminder rather than a distraction.
In Practice
Look for the Divine’s glory in one beautiful or powerful thing today, and let it steady your mind.
