English Translation
I am seated in the hearts of all beings. From Me come memory, knowledge, and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I alone am to be known. Indeed, I am the author of Vedanta and the knower of the Vedas.

Explanation · English
A sweeping declaration of divine omnipresence. Krishna is not distant — He sits in every heart (hṛidi sanniviṣhṭaḥ). Even memory, knowledge, and their loss come from Him. The verse claims that all scriptural knowledge ultimately points to one thing: knowing Him.
