Chapter 43: Tumult of Battle-Sounds and the Proliferation of Dvandva
Paired Engagements
यो मामेवमसम्मूढोः जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम् | स सर्वविद्ः भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत,हे भारत! जो ज्ञानी पुरुष मुझको इस प्रकार तत्त्वसे पुरुषोत्तम जानता है, वह सर्वज्ञ पुरुष सब प्रकारसे निरन्तर मुझ वासुदेव परमेश्वरको ही भजता है?
arjuna uvāca | yo mām evam asammūḍho jānāti puruṣottamam | sa sarvavid bhajati māṁ sarvabhāvena bhārata ||
O Bhārata! Ang sinumang walang pagkalito at nakakakilala sa Akin sa ganitong paraan bilang Puruṣottama—ang Kataas-taasang Persona—siya ang nakaaalam ng kabuuang katotohanan, at sumasamba sa Akin nang buong pagkatao, sa lahat ng paraan.
अजुन उवाच
True, undeluded knowledge of the Lord as Puruṣottama naturally culminates in wholehearted devotion; right understanding is not merely intellectual but becomes total worship and alignment of one’s entire being.
Arjuna speaks, affirming the teaching he has received: the one who comprehends the Lord’s supreme status without confusion becomes ‘sarvavit’ in the essential sense and responds by worshipping the Lord completely.
