भट्ट बताते हैं कि राधाकृष्णन ने गीता को कैसे पढ़ा: उनके 1948 के पाठ-संस्करण में गीता आरंभिक उपनिषदों के बाद और सूत्र-दर्शनों से पूर्व की, ईसापूर्व रचना है; वह ब्रह्मविद्या भी है और योगशास्त्र भी, किसी एक सम्प्रदाय की सम्पत्ति नहीं; उसका एक अंश कालबद्ध, दूसरा शाश्वत। Bhat examines how Radhakrishnan read the Gita in his 1948 text-edition and in Indian Philosophy: as a pre-Christian work later than the early Upanisads and earlier than the sutra systems, both brahmavidya and yogasastra, no single school's property, and a scripture with a perishable and an imperishable side.
