श्रद्धावाननसूयश्च श्रृणुयादपि यो नरः ।सोऽपि मुक्तः शुभाँल्लोकान्प्राप्नुयात्पुण्यकर्मणाम् ॥
śraddhāvānanasūyaśca śrṛṇuyādapi yo naraḥ |so'pi muktaḥ śubhām̐llokānprāpnuyātpuṇyakarmaṇām ||
And even the person who simply listens, with faith and without finding fault, is freed and reaches the auspicious worlds of those who do good deeds.
Explanation
Krishna is concluding the Gita's teaching and speaking to Arjuna about the benefit of hearing it. Even someone who only listens, with faith (śraddhā) and without fault-finding or resentment (asūyā), is said to be released from bonds and to reach the happy worlds earned by virtuous action. Commentators differ on whether 'freed' (muktaḥ) means freedom from sin and bad karma, or final liberation (mokṣa).
