"This Gétopaniñad, Bhagavad-gétä, the essence of all

the Upaniñads, is just like a cow, and Lord Kåñëa, who
is famous as a cowherd boy, is milking this cow.
Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and
pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of
Bhagavad-gétä." (Gétä-mähätmya 6)

world-Bhagavad-gétä. let there be one God for the
whole world-Çré Kåñëa. and one hymn, one mantra,
one prayer—the chanting of His name: and let there
be one work only—the service of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.(Gétä-mähätmya 7)
