My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

I am entered in the hearts of all; from Me come the faculties of memory, knowledge, and discernment; none but Me is to be known by means of all the Vedas, and I am alone the author of the final part of the Vedas and also the author of the Vedas themselves.

Shri Purohit Swami

I am enthroned in the hearts of all; memory, wisdom and discrimination owe their origins to Me. I am He Who is to be realised in the scriptures; I inspire their wisdom and I know their truth.

Swami Adidevananda

And I am seated in the hearts of all. From Me are memory, knowledge and their removal also. Indeed I alone am to be known from all the Vedas. I bring about the fruition of the rituals of Vedas; I alone am the knower of the Vedas.

Swami Gambirananda

And I am seated in the hearts of all. From Me are memory, knowledge and their loss. I alone am the object to be known through all the Vedas; I am also the originator of the Vedanta, and I Myself am the knower of the Vedas.

Swami Sivananda

And, I am seated in the hearts of all; from Me are memory, knowledge, as well as their absence. I am verily that which has to be known by all the Vedas; I am indeed the author of the Vedanta, and the knower of the Vedas am I.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

But the Highest Person, distinct from both [this], is spoken of as the Supreme Self, which, being the changeless Lord, sustains the triad of the world by entering into it.

Shri Purohit Swami

But higher than all am I, the Supreme God, the Absolute Self, the Eternal Lord, Who pervades the worlds and upholds them all.

Swami Adidevananda

There is the Supreme Person other than these. He is named the Supreme Self (Paramatma) in all the Vedas. He who, as the Immutable One and the Lord, entering the threefold world, supports it.

Swami Gambirananda

But different is the supreme Person who is spoken of as the transcendental Self, who, permeating the three worlds, upholds (them), and is the imperishable God.

Swami Sivananda

But distinct is the Supreme Purusha called the highest Self, the indestructible Lord who, pervading the three worlds, sustains them.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

There are two people in the world: the perishable and the imperishable. The perishable is all elements, and the one that speaks is called the imperishable.

Shri Purohit Swami

There are two aspects in Nature: the perishable and the imperishable. All life in this world belongs to the former, the unchanging element belongs to the latter.

Swami Adidevananda

There are two kinds of Persons (Purusas) spoken of in the Sastra - the perishable (Ksara) and the imperishable (Aksara). The perishable is all beings and the imperishable is called the unchanging (Kutastha).

Swami Gambirananda

There are these two persons in the world-the mutable and the immutable. The mutable consists of all things; the one existing as Maya is called the immutable.

Swami Sivananda

Two Purushas there are in this world, the perishable and the imperishable. All beings are the perishable, and the Kutastha is called the imperishable.
