Purusottama Yogah - I dwell in the hearts of all beings, and from Me come memory, knowledge, and forgetfulness. I am the object of the Vedas and the knower of the Vedas.
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि सन्निविष्टो मत्त: स्मृतिर्ज्ञानमपोहनं च |
वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्यो वेदान्तकृद्वेदविदेव चाहम् ||15||

I dwell in the hearts of all beings, and from Me come memory, knowledge, and forgetfulness. I am the object of the Vedas and the knower of the Vedas.

  • Vedanta: The ultimate conclusion of the Vedic scriptures.
  • Smriti: Memory, which is controlled by the divine.

As the indwelling presence in all beings, Krishna is the source of knowledge, memory, and forgetfulness. He also establishes himself as the ultimate goal of the Vedas, not just as an intellectual pursuit but as the very essence of wisdom that leads to liberation.
