पार्थ [pArtha] Arjuna, योऽपि स्त्रियो वैश्याः तथा शूद्राः [yo'pi striyo vaizyAH tathA zUdrAH] anyone, irrespective of gender and profession, पापयोनयः स्युः [pApayonayaH syuH] even those who’ve tread the path of malice - तेऽपि [te'pi] they will पराम् गतिम् यान्ति हि [parAm gatim yAnti hi] definitely attain the supreme goal माम् व्यपाश्रित्य [mAm vyapAzritya] after taking refuge in Me. किम् पुनः [kim punaH] It goes without saying that the same applies पुण्याः [puNyAH] to the virtuous, भक्ताः [bhaktAH] to My devotees, ब्राह्मणाः [brAhmaNAH] to those who seek to worship तथा राजर्षयः [tathA rAjarSayaH] and administrators who rule on My behalf. भजस्व माम् [bhajasva mAm] Worship Me, प्राप्य [prApya] now that you have obtained इमम् लोकम् [imam lokam] this world, अनित्यम् [anityam] which is temporary असुखम् [asukham] and is devoid of lasting joy.

Without exception, everyone can devote themselves to the Lord.

Anyone can attain Me and reach the ultimate goal – Ladies, Gentlemen, people of various occupations, traders, those who serve other people, even those who may have tread the path of ill-will and misbehavior. It goes without saying that people who tread the path of virtue, who seek to worship Me, who administer on My behalf - they can equally take refuge by being devoted to Me.

You are here to administer on My behalf. Worship Me.

Next, the Lord describes the characteristics of bhakti :
