अधियज्ञ: कथं कोअत्र देहेडस्मिन् मधुसूदन । प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोडसि नियतात्मभि:,हे मधुसूदन! यहाँ अधियज्ञ कौन है? और वह इस शरीरमें कैसे है? तथा युक्तचित्तवाले पुरुषोंद्वारा अन्त समयमें आप किस प्रकार जाननेमें आते हैं?
arjuna uvāca | adhiyajñaḥ kathaṁ ko 'tra dehe 'smin madhusūdana | prayāṇakāle ca kathaṁ jñeyo 'si niyatātmabhiḥ ||
ഹേ മധുസൂദനാ! ഇവിടെ ‘അധിയജ്ഞൻ’ ആര്? അവൻ ഈ ദേഹത്തിൽ എങ്ങനെ വസിക്കുന്നു? കൂടാതെ, നിയതാത്മാക്കളാൽ പ്രയാണകാലത്ത് നീ എങ്ങനെ അറിയപ്പെടുന്നു?

Educational Q&A
Arjuna seeks clarity on the divine dimension of yajña (Adhiyajña) and the practical spiritual method: how disciplined practitioners can recognize and remember the Lord at the moment of death—linking inner realization with the final ethical-spiritual test of one’s life.
On the battlefield discourse, after hearing Kṛṣṇa’s teaching on Brahman, the self, and karma, Arjuna asks follow-up questions: who the Adhiyajña is, how that reality is present within embodied life, and how yogic, self-controlled persons know Kṛṣṇa at life’s end.
