Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 8.28
वेदेषु यज्ञेषु तपःसु चैव दानेषु यत् पुण्यफलं प्रदिष्टम्। अत्येति तत्सर्वमिदं विदित्वा योगी परं स्थानमुपैति चाऽद्यम् ॥२८॥
Whatever meritorious fruit is declared in the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities, and charities — all this the yogi surpasses, and having known this, he attains the supreme, eternal abode.
Gīta Bhāshya 8.28
One who knows and practices these methods does not become deluded.
एते सृती सोपाये ज्ञात्वा अनुष्ठाय न मुह्यति। तच्चाह स्कान्दे-
Knowing and following these paths along with the means, one does not become deluded. This is also stated in the Skanda Purāṇa:
"सृती ज्ञात्वा तु सोपाये चानुष्ठाय च साधनम्। न कश्चित् मोहमाप्नोति न चान्या तत्र वै गतिः॥"
"Knowing the paths along with the means and practicing the method, no one falls into delusion, and indeed, there is no other path."
इति ॥२५- २८॥
- stated thus.
॥ इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्यविरचिते श्रीभगवद्गीताभाष्ये अष्टमोध्यायः ॥
Thus concludes the eighth chapter in the commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā, composed by the glorious revered Ānanda Tīrtha Bhagavatpāda Ācārya
॥ ओं तत्सदिति श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतासु उपनिषत्सु ब्रह्मविद्यायां योगशास्त्रे श्रीकृष्णार्जुनसंवादे अक्षरब्रह्मयोगो नाम अष्टमोध्यायः ॥
Om, thus ends the eigth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which is part of the Upanishads and the Yoga Shastra, in the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, known as the 'Akṣarabrahma Yogo', in the study of Brahma Vidya (knowledge of the Absolute).

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
