Chapter 9 · The Royal Secret · Krishna said
Bhagavad Gita 9.32 — Devotion is open to all
मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः। स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम् ॥
māṃ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye'pi syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ | striyo vaiśyāstathā śūdrāste'pi yānti parāṃ gatim ||
Meaning
Partha, whoever takes refuge in me — even those society looks down on, women, merchants or labourers — they too reach the highest goal.
