My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Those who realize Me as one [identical] with what governs the beings, deities, and with what governs the sacrifices—they, even at the moment of their departure, experience Me, having mastered the Yoga.

Shri Purohit Swami

Those who see Me in the life of the world, in the universal sacrifice, and as pure Divinity, keeping their minds steady, they live in Me, even in the crucial hour of death."

Swami Adidevananda

And those who know Me with the Adhibhuta, Adhidaiva and the Adhiyajna, they too, with their minds fixed in meditation, know Me even at the hour of death.

Swami Gambirananda

Those who know me as existing in the physical and the divine planes, and also in the context of the sacrifice, they of concentrated minds know Me even at the time of death.

Swami Sivananda

Those who know Me with the Adhibhuta (pertaining to the elements), the Adhidaiva (pertaining to the gods), and Adhiyajna (pertaining to the sacrifice), know Me even at the time of death, steadfast in mind.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Arjuna said, "What is Brahman? What is known as the Lord of the Self (Adhyatma)? What is action? O Best of Persons, what is said to be the Lord of material things (Adhibhuta)? What is called the Lord of divinities (Adhidaiva)?"

Shri Purohit Swami

"Arjuna asked: O Lord of Lords! What is that which men call the Supreme Spirit, what is man's Spiritual Nature, and what is the Law? What is Matter and what is Divinity?

Swami Adidevananda

What is that brahman? What is Adhyatma? What is Karma? What is said to be Adhibhuta? O Supreme Person, who is said to be Adhidaiva?

Swami Gambirananda

Arjuna said O supreme person, what is that Brahman? What is that which exists in the individual plane? What is action? And what is that which is said to exist in the physical plane? What is that which is said to be existing in the divine plane?

Swami Sivananda

What is that Brahman? What is Adhyatma? What is action, O best among men? What is declared to be Adhibhuta? And what is Adhidaiva said to be?
