Note the word kṛpayā, “by grace.” The request is addressed not to the teacher’s duty but to his goodwill; and this is common in such books, though it is worth asking why. In this tradition, knowledge is not owed: the teacher is not obliged to give it, and the pupil has no right to demand it.
Hence one asks by grace rather than by right; and the word kṛpā stands here in its proper place. Add, too, the word sa-rahasyam, “together with its secret.” Rahasya means “hidden, secret”; and the request is for not merely an exposition but also what is not spoken aloud with it.
This detail shows that in such teaching one distinguished what is predicated and what is transmitted with it: the former is the content, the latter what travels alongside it. The Vaiṣṇava side holds this same distinction, discussed reading Varāha (4.43): the word conveys the content, presence conveys the state. Let us add, too, what stands in its own usage where this rahasya stands here.
The Gītā ends with the words sarva-guhyatamam, “the most secret of all secrets” (18.64), spoken by Kṛṣṇa just before the final verse. And this secret turns out to be neither a technique nor a hidden formula, but a declaration of love: iṣṭo’si me dṛḍham iti, “for you are firmly dear to Me.” That is, the secret there is not something that cannot be said, but something one says only to someone close.
