ಶ್ರೀಮದ್ಭಗವದ್ಗೀತಾ ಪಾರಾಯಣ - ನವಮೋಽಧ್ಯಾಯಃ

na cha mat‌sthāni bhūtāni paśya mē yōgamaiśvaram । bhūtabhṛnna cha bhūtasthaḥ mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ ॥5॥

Nor do beings exist in Me (in reality); behold, My divine Yoga, which supports all beings, but does not dwell in them, is My Self, the efficient cause of beings.

yathā''kāśasthitō nityaṃ vāyuḥ sarvatragō mahān । tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni mat‌sthānītyupadhāraya ॥6॥

As the mighty wind, moving everywhere, always rests in the ether, so too, know that all beings rest in Me.

sarvabhūtāni kauntēya prakṛtiṃ yānti māmikām । kalpakṣayē punastāni kalpādau visṛjāmyaham ॥7॥

All beings, O Arjuna, go into My Nature at the end of a Kalpa; I send them forth again at the beginning of the next Kalpa.

prakṛtiṃ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ । bhūtagrāmamimaṃ kṛtsnam avaśaṃ prakṛtērvaśāt ॥8॥

Animating My Nature, I again and again send forth all this multitude of beings, helpless under the force of Nature.

na cha māṃ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjaya । udāsīnavadāsīnam asaktaṃ tēṣu karmasu ॥9॥

These acts do not bind Me, O Arjuna, sitting as one indifferent, unattached to those acts.

mayādhyakṣēṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyatē sacharācharam । hētunā'nēna kauntēya jagadviparivartatē ॥10॥

Under Me, as supervisor, Nature produces the moving and the unmoving; therefore, O Arjuna, the world revolves.

avajānanti māṃ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritam । paraṃ bhāvamajānantaḥ mama bhūtamahēśvaram ॥11॥

Fools disregard Me, clad in human form, not knowing My higher Being as the great Lord of all beings.

mōghāśā mōghakarmāṇaḥ mōghajñānā vichētasaḥ । rākṣasīmāsurīṃ chaiva prakṛtiṃ mōhinīṃ śritāḥ ॥12॥

They are possessed of the deceitful nature of demons and undivine beings, filled with vain hopes, vain actions, and vain knowledge that is senseless.

mahātmānastu māṃ pārtha daivīṃ prakṛtimāśritāḥ । bhajantyananyamanasaḥ jñātvā bhūtādimavyayam ॥13॥

But the great souls, O Arjuna, partaking of My divine nature, worship Me with a single-minded devotion, knowing Me as the imperishable source of all beings.

satataṃ kīrtayantō māṃ yatantaścha dṛḍhavratāḥ । namasyantaścha māṃ bhaktyā nityayuktā upāsatē ॥14॥

Always glorifying Me, striving, firm in their vows, prostrating themselves before Me, they worship Me with steadfast devotion.

jñānayajñēna chāpyanyē yajantō māmupāsatē । ēkatvēna pṛthaktvēna bahudhā viśvatōmukham ॥15॥

Others also, sacrificing with the wisdom-sacrifice, worship Me, the All-Faced, as one, distinct, and manifold.

ahaṃ kraturahaṃ yajñaḥ svadhāhamahamauṣadham । mantrō'hamahamēvājyam ahamagnirahaṃ hutam ॥16॥

I am Kratu; I am Yajna; I am the offering to the manes; I am the medicinal herbs and all plants; I am the Mantra; I am also the ghee or melted butter; I am the fire; I am the oblation.

pitā'hamasya jagataḥ mātā dhātā pitāmahaḥ । vēdyaṃ pavitramōṅkāraḥ ṛksāma yajurēva cha ॥17॥

I am the father of this world, the mother, the dispenser of the fruits of actions, and the grandfather; the one thing to be known, the purifier, the sacred monosyllable (Om), and also the Rik, Sama, and Yajur Vedas.

gatirbhartā prabhuḥ sākṣī nivāsaḥ śaraṇaṃ suhṛt । prabhavaḥ pralayaḥ sthānaṃ nidhānaṃ bījamavyayam ॥18॥

I am the goal, the supporter, the Lord, the witness, the abode, the shelter, the friend, the origin, the dissolution, the foundation, the treasure-house, and the imperishable seed.

tapāmyahamahaṃ varṣaṃ nigṛhṇāmyutsṛjāmi cha । amṛtaṃ chaiva mṛtyuścha sadasachchāhamarjuna ॥19॥

As the sun, I give heat; I withhold and send forth the rain; I am immortality and also death, existence and non-existence, O Arjuna.

traividyā māṃ sōmapāḥ pūtapāpāḥ yajñairiṣṭvā svargatiṃ prārthayantē । tē puṇyamāsādya surēndralōkam aśnanti divyāndivi dēvabhōgān ॥20॥

The knowers of the three Vedas, the drinkers of Soma, purified of all sins, worshipping Me through sacrifices, pray for the way to heaven; they reach the holy world of the Lord of the gods and enjoy the divine pleasures of the gods in heaven.

tē taṃ bhuktvā svargalōkaṃ viśālaṃ kṣīṇē puṇyē martyalōkaṃ viśanti । ēvaṃ trayīdharmamanuprapannāḥ gatāgataṃ kāmakāmā labhantē ॥21॥

They, having enjoyed the vast heaven, enter the world of mortals when their merit is exhausted; thus abiding by the injunctions of the three (Vedas) and desiring objects of desires, they attain to the state of coming and going.

ananyāśchintayantō māṃ yē janāḥ paryupāsatē । tēṣāṃ nityābhiyuktānāṃ yōgakṣēmaṃ vahāmyaham ॥22॥

For those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no one else, for those ever-united, I secure what they have not already possessed and preserve what they already possess.

yē'pyanyadēvatā bhaktāḥ yajantē śraddhayānvitāḥ । tē'pi māmēva kauntēya yajantyavidhipūrvakam ॥23॥

Even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other gods, worship Me alone, O Arjuna, but by the wrong method.

ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhōktā cha prabhurēva cha । na tu māmabhijānanti tattvēnātaśchyavanti tē ॥24॥

For I alone am the enjoyer and Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in reality, and thus they return to this mortal world.

yānti dēvavratā dēvān pitṝnyānti pitṛvratāḥ । bhūtāni yānti bhūtējyāḥ yānti madyājinō'pi mām ॥25॥

The worshippers of the gods go to them; the ancestor-worshippers go to the manes; the worshippers of the deities who preside over the elements go to them; but My devotees come to Me.

patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ tōyaṃ yō mē bhaktyā prayachChati । tadahaṃ bhaktyupahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ ॥26॥

Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or a little water, that, so offered devotedly by the pure-minded, I accept.

yatkarōṣi yadaśnāsi yajjuhōṣi dadāsi yat । yattapasyasi kauntēya tatkuruṣva madarpaṇam ॥27॥

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever austerity you practice, O Arjuna, do it as an offering to Me.

śubhāśubhaphalairēvaṃ mōkṣyasē karmabandhanaiḥ । sannyāsayōgayuktātmā vimuktō māmupaiṣyasi ॥28॥

Thus, you shall be freed from the bonds of actions yielding good and evil fruits; with the mind steadfast in the Yoga of renunciation, and liberated, you shall come to Me.

samō'haṃ sarvabhūtēṣu na mē dvēṣyō'sti na priyaḥ । yē bhajanti tu māṃ bhaktyā mayi tē tēṣu chāpyaham ॥29॥

I am the same to all beings; there is none hateful or dear to Me; but those who worship Me with devotion are in Me, and I am also in them.

api chētsudurāchāraḥ bhajatē māmananyabhāk । sādhurēva sa mantavyaḥ samyagvyavasitō hi saḥ ॥30॥

Even if the most sinful worships Me, with devotion to no one else, he should indeed be regarded as righteous, for he has rightly resolved.

kṣipraṃ bhavati dharmātmā śaśvachChāntiṃ nigachChati । kauntēya prati jānīhi na mē bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati ॥31॥

Soon he becomes righteous and attains eternal peace; O Arjuna, proclaim thou for certain that My devotee never perishes.

māṃ hi pārtha vyapāśritya yē'pi syuḥ pāpayōnayaḥ । striyō vaiśyāstathā śūdrāḥ tē'pi yānti parāṃ gatim ॥32॥

For, taking refuge in Me, they who, O Arjuna, may be of a sinful birth—women, Vaisyas, and Sudras—attain the Supreme Goal.

kiṃ punarbrāhmaṇāḥ puṇyāḥ bhaktā rājarṣayastathā । anityamasukhaṃ lōkam imaṃ prāpya bhajasva mām ॥33॥

How much more easily, then, do Brahmins and devoted royal saints attain the goal? Having come to this impermanent and unhappy world, do thou worship Me.

manmanā bhava madbhaktaḥ madyājī māṃ namaskuru । māmēvaiṣyasi yuktvaivam ātmānaṃ matparāyaṇaḥ ॥34॥

Fix your mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice to Me; bow down to Me; having thus united your whole self to Me, taking Me as the supreme goal, you will come to Me.

॥ ōṃ tatsaditi śrīmadbhagavadgītāsu upaniṣatsu brahmavidyāyāṃ yōgaśāstrē śrīkṛṣṇārjunasaṃvādē rājavidyārājaguhyayōgō nāma navamō'dhyāyaḥ ॥
