Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that realized knowers of Brahman, departing along the ‘luminous’ sequence—fire, light, day, bright fortnight, and the sun’s northern course—are led onward to attain Brahman. It emphasizes liberation through spiritual knowledge and alignment with an auspicious, orderly cosmic path.
Arjuna is speaking about the post-death journey of yogins who know Brahman. He describes a specific, auspicious route of departure, marked by deities and time-divisions, through which such persons are progressively guided to the supreme goal.
