judgment

And one who studies this sacred dialogue of ours — by him I shall have been worshipped with the sacrifice of knowledge; this is my judgment.

Original plain-language translation

Study itself becomes sacrifice: reading the dialogue attentively is jñāna-yajña, worship through understanding (compare 4.33, where knowledge-sacrifice surpasses material sacrifice). Krishna thus blesses the reader directly — this very website's reader included — as a worshipper by study.
