What of the holy Brahmanas and devoted, wise sages? Having come to this fleeting, miserable world, worship Me.

Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

How much more then, for the pure Brahmanas and royal sages who are My devotees! Having obtained this transient and joyless world, they should worship Me.

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

Certainly, it should be so in the case of the pious men of the priestly class and devoted royal seers. Having come to this transient and joyless world, you should be devoted to Me.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva

How much more easily, then, do Brahmins and devoted royal saints attain the goal? Having come to this impermanent and unhappy world, do thou worship Me.

Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita

What need is there, then, to mention the holy ministers of God, the devotees, and the saintly rulers? Therefore, do you, born in this changing and miserable world, also worship Me.

Machine translation · draft

How much more the brāhmaṇas, the meritorious, those of meritorious birth, devotees, and the royal seers, those who are both kings and seers. Since it is so, having reached this impermanent, momentarily-perishing, joyless world, the world of men, having gained the human state, which is hard to win and is the means to the goal of human life, worship Me, serve Me. How?

How much more, then, the brahmins of meritorious birth and the royal sages, having resorted to devotion to Me. Therefore you, a royal sage, having gained and abiding in this world, which is unsteady, comfortless because struck by the three kinds of pain, worship Me. The Lord states the own-form of devotion.
