ಶ್ರೀಮದ್ಭಗವದ್ಗೀತಾ ಪಾರಾಯಣ - ಸಪ್ತಮೋಽಧ್ಯಾಯಃ

jñānaṃ tē'haṃ savijñānam idaṃ vakṣyāmyaśēṣataḥ । yajjñātvā nēha bhūyō'nyat jñātavyamavaśiṣyatē ॥2॥

I will declare to you in full this knowledge combined with realization, after knowing which nothing else remains to be known here.

manuṣyāṇāṃ sahasrēṣu kaśchidyatati siddhayē । yatatāmapi siddhānāṃ kaśchinmāṃ vētti tattvataḥ ॥3॥

Among thousands of men, one may perchance strive for perfection; even among those successful strivers, only one may perchance know Me in essence.

bhūmirāpō'nalō vāyuḥ khaṃ manō buddhirēva cha । ahaṅkāra itīyaṃ mē bhinnā prakṛtiraṣṭadhā ॥4॥

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect, and egoism—thus is My Nature divided eightfold.

aparēyamitastvanyāṃ prakṛtiṃ viddhi mē parām । jīvabhūtāṃ mahābāhō yayēdaṃ dhāryatē jagat ॥5॥

O mighty-armed Arjuna, this is the inferior Prakriti; know it as distinct from My higher Prakriti, the very life-element, by which this world is upheld.

ētadyōnīni bhūtāni sarvāṇītyupadhāraya । ahaṃ kṛtsnasya jagataḥ prabhavaḥ pralayastathā ॥6॥

Know that these two are the womb of all beings; thus, I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe.

mattaḥ parataraṃ nānyat kiñjidasti dhanañjaya । mayi sarvamidaṃ prōtaṃ sūtrē maṇigaṇā iva ॥7॥

There is nothing higher than Me, O Arjuna. All this is strung on Me, like clusters of gems on a string.

rasō'hamapsu kauntēya prabhā'smi śaśisūryayōḥ । praṇavaḥ sarvavēdēṣu śabdaḥ khē pauruṣaṃ nṛṣu ॥8॥

I am the flavor in water, O Arjuna; I am the light in the moon and the sun; I am the syllable Om in all the Vedas, sound in the ether and virility in men.

puṇyō gandhaḥ pṛthivyāṃ cha tējaśchāsmi vibhāvasau । jīvanaṃ sarvabhūtēṣu tapaśchāsmi tapasviṣu ॥9॥

I am the sweet fragrance in the earth and the brilliance in the fire, the life in all beings, and I am the austerity of ascetics.

bījaṃ māṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ viddhi pārtha sanātanam । buddhirbuddhimatāmasmi tējastējasvināmaham ॥10॥

Know Me, O Arjuna, as the eternal seed of all beings; I am the intelligence of the intelligent, and the splendour of the splendid objects.

balaṃ balavatāṃ chāhaṃ kāmarāgavivarjitam । dharmāviruddhō bhūtēṣu kāmō'smi bharatarṣabha ॥11॥

Of the strong, I am the strength devoid of desire and attachment, and in all beings, I am the desire in accordance with Dharma, O Arjuna.

yē chaiva sāttvikā bhāvāḥ rājasāstāmasāścha yē । matta ēvēti tānviddhi na tvahaṃ tēṣu tē mayi ॥12॥

Whatever beings (and objects) that are pure, active, and inert, know that they proceed from Me. They are in Me, yet I am not in them.

tribhirguṇamayairbhāvaiḥ ēbhiḥ sarvamidaṃ jagat । mōhitaṃ nābhijānāti māmēbhyaḥ paramavyayam ॥13॥

Deluded by these Natures, composed of the three qualities of Nature, all this world does not know Me as distinct from them and immutable.

daivī hyēṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā । māmēva yē prapadyantē māyāmētāṃ taranti tē ॥14॥

Verily, this divine illusion of Mine, composed of the three qualities, is difficult to cross over; those who take refuge in Me alone, can cross over this illusion.

na māṃ duṣkṛtinō mūḍhāḥ prapadyantē narādhamāḥ । māyayā'pahṛtajñānāḥ āsuraṃ bhāvamāśritāḥ ॥15॥

The evil-doers and the deluded, who are the lowest of men, do not seek Me; those whose knowledge is destroyed by illusion follow the ways of demons.

chaturvidhā bhajantē māṃ janāḥ sukṛtinō'rjuna । ārtō jijñāsurarthārthī jñānī cha bharatarṣabha ॥16॥

Four kinds of virtuous men worship Me, O Arjuna, and they are the distressed, the seekers of knowledge, the seekers of wealth, and the wise, O Lord of the Bharatas.

tēṣāṃ jñānī nityayuktaḥ ēka bhaktirviśiṣyatē । priyō hi jñāninō'tyartham ahaṃ sa cha mama priyaḥ ॥17॥

Of them, the wise who are ever steadfast and devoted to the One, excel; for I am exceedingly dear to the wise, and they are dear to Me.

udārāḥ sarva ēvaitē jñānī tvātmaiva mē matam । āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā māmēvānuttamāṃ gatim ॥18॥

Indeed, all these are noble; however, I consider the wise man as My very Self; for, he is steadfast in mind and established in Me alone as the supreme goal.

bahūnāṃ janmanāmantē jñānavānmāṃ prapadyatē । vāsudēvaḥ sarvamiti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ ॥19॥

At the end of many births, the wise man comes to Me, realizing that all this is Vaasudeva (the innermost Self); such a great soul (Mahatma) is very hard to find.

kāmaistai stairhṛtajñānāḥ prapadyantē'nyadēvatāḥ । taṃ taṃ niyamamāsthāya prakṛtyā niyatāḥ svayā ॥20॥

Those whose wisdom has been taken away by this or that desire, go to other gods, following this or that rite, led by their own nature.

yō yō yāṃ yāṃ tanuṃ bhaktaḥ śraddhayārchitumichChati । tasya tasyāchalāṃ śraddhāṃ tāmēva vidadhāmyaham ॥21॥

Whatever form any devotee desires to worship with faith, I make that same faith of his firm and unflinching.

sa tayā śraddhayā yuktaḥ tasyārādhanamīhatē । labhatē cha tataḥ kāmān mayaiva vihitānhi tān ॥22॥

Endowed with that faith, he engages in the worship of that form and obtains his desired outcome, which is ordained by Me alone.

antavattu phalaṃ tēṣāṃ tadbhavatyalpamēdhasām । dēvāndēvayajō yānti madbhaktā yānti māmapi ॥23॥

Verily, the reward (fruit) that accrues to those men of small intelligence is finite. The worshippers of the gods go to them, whereas My devotees come to Me.

avyaktaṃ vyaktimāpannaṃ manyantē māmabuddhayaḥ । paraṃ bhāvamajānantaḥ mamāvyayamanuttamam ॥24॥

The foolish think of Me, the Unmanifest, as having manifestation, not knowing My higher, immutable, and most excellent nature.

nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yōgamāyāsamāvṛtaḥ । mūḍhō'yaṃ nābhijānāti lōkō māmajamavyayam ॥25॥

I am not manifest to all, veiled as I am by the Yoga-Maya. This deluded world does not know Me, who am unborn and imperishable.

vēdāhaṃ samatītāni vartamānāni chārjuna । bhaviṣyāṇi cha bhūtāni māṃ tu vēda na kaśchana ॥26॥

I know, O Arjuna, the beings of the past, the present, and the future; however, no one knows Me.

ichChādvēṣasamutthēna dvandvamōhēna bhārata । sarvabhūtāni sammōhaṃ sargē yānti parantapa ॥27॥

O Bharata, all beings are subject to delusion at birth due to the delusion of the pairs of opposites arising from desire and aversion, O Parantapa.

yēṣāṃ tvantagataṃ pāpaṃ janānāṃ puṇyakarmaṇām । tē dvandvamōhanirmuktāḥ bhajantē māṃ dṛḍhavratāḥ ॥28॥

But those men of virtuous deeds, whose sins have come to an end and who are freed from the delusion of the pairs of opposites, worship Me steadfastly, with their vows.

jarāmaraṇamōkṣāya māmāśritya yatanti yē । tē brahma tadviduḥ kṛtsnam adhyātmaṃ karma chākhilam॥29॥

Those who strive for liberation from old age and death, taking refuge in Me, realize in full that Brahman, the whole knowledge of the Self, and all action.

sādhibhūtādhidaivaṃ māṃ sādhiyajñaṃ cha yē viduḥ । prayāṇakālē'pi cha māṃ tē viduryuktachētasaḥ ॥30॥

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

॥ ōṃ tatsaditi śrīmadbhagavadgītāsu upaniṣatsu brahmavidyāyāṃ yōgaśāstrē śrīkṛṣṇārjunasaṃvādē jñānavijñānayōgō nāma saptamō'dhyāyaḥ
