madhyame bhagavattatvayAthAtmyAvAptisiddhaye |
j~naanakarmAbhinirvatyo^r bhaktiyogaH prakIrtitaH || (Verse 3)

What is extolled in the middle set of six chapters is Bhakti Yoga, which can be 
accomplished only by the acquisition of knowledge of the Atman and performance 
of Karma(Action), specifically (jnAna-karma yOga) stated in the first shatka, 
and which leads to the experience of Bhagavan in his true form.

"Bhagavan" is paramAtman (Hence those who are devoted to hum are called 
Bhagavataas). 

"Tatva - Yathatmya" - the true nature of Him.

"Avapti - Siddhaye" - for the benefit of the experience of that nature.

"Bhakti yoga" - Here yoga means upAya.; it may mean Dhyana, in which case 
Bhakti means love and affection.

"Prakeertita" - Extolled as superior to other things and explained with its 
naute, its elements or parts and the gains to be obtained.

(Next: Verse 4)

Note: I notice that the sanskrit verses of this series is available at this 
website http://www.acharya.org/sloka/gsa.html
I am thankful to Sri TCA Venkatesan for that. This saves me the time of having 
to retype the verses once again.

Regards,

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,

Malolan Cadambi
