Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





Arjuna further wants to know who is the adhiyagna or the  Supreme  Being  in
which to give propitiation and worship  to?  Who  is  the  director  of  all
actions and  the  ultimate  bestower  of  the  rewards  of  action  in  this
propitiation that is constantly going on in  the  physical  body.  First  he
asked about the nature of adhiyagna, now he wants to know about  the  manner
in which it operates within the physical body.  As  the  indwelling  monitor
how does He preside over yagna or propitiation and worship. The  word  yagna
implies all authorised Vedic rituals and worship. Finally  Arjuna  wants  to
know by what means is the Supreme Lord to be known  and  remembered  at  the
moment of death to those of controlled minds and senses.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





What is the tad brahma or the  supreme,spiritual  substratum  pervading  all
existence? What is adhiyatma or the soul within all  embodied  beings?  What
is karma or the equal reaction to any action? How is it possible  to  effect
moksa or liberation from the cycle of  birth  and  death  by  knowing  these
things and taking shelter of Bhagavan or the possessor  of  full  knowledge,
full power, full fame, full wealth, full beauty and full  renunciation,  who
is the Supreme Lord Krishna? What is the  adhibhuta  referring  to  embodied
beings and adhidaivas referring to  the  demigods  which  the  atharthis  or
seekers of wealth must know? What also is indicated by  the  term  adhiyagna
which all three  classes  of  aspirants  have  to  be  cognisant  of  beings
atharthis, jijnasurs or those  desiring  soul  realisation  and  jnanis  or
those  exclusively  seeking  the  Supreme  Lord  and  why  is  it  specially
characterised? Finally Arjuna wanted to know specifically  in  what  way  is
the Supreme Lord Krishna to be realised by persons of  controlled  mind  and
senses at the time of death.
