विभूति-योगः (Vibhūti-yoga) — Exemplary Manifestations as a Contemplative Index
अधियज्ञ: कथं कोअत्र देहेडस्मिन् मधुसूदन । प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोडसि नियतात्मभि:
arjuna uvāca | adhiyajñaḥ kathaṁ ko 'tra dehe 'smin madhusūdana | prayāṇakāle ca kathaṁ jñeyo 'si niyatātmabhiḥ ||
Sinabi ni Arjuna: “O Madhusūdana, sino ang ‘Adhiyajña’ dito, at paano Siya nananahan sa katawang ito? At sa oras ng pagpanaw, sa anong paraan Ka dapat makilala ng mga may pagpipigil-sa-sarili at matatag sa disiplina?”

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.
