📘 Fun Fact:
There is sometimes a small debate — some older versions (especially in the Madhva and Bhagavata traditions) mention 701 or 745 shlokas due to minor textual differences. But the standard version accepted in most modern Gita editions (like the one by Adi Shankaracharya or Gita Press, Gorakhpur) has 700 verses.
