अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन।
प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः

भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः

अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर

यः प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशयः

तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः

Translation: - Krishna to Arjuna:- Remember, the state of mind one has absorbed during death, he gets it in his next life.

तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च।
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयम्

Translation: - Krishna to Arjuna:- Always keep me in your thoughts. You will carry me during karmic actions. Absorb your mind completely in me, you will surely reach me.

मणोरणीयांसमनुस्मरेद्यः।
सर्वस्य धातारमचिन्त्यरूप
मादित्यवर्णं तमसः परस्तात्

स तं परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम्

Translation: - Krishna to Arjuna: - Practice yoga and meditation. You will meet me.

 

यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति
विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः।
यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति
तत्ते पदं संग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये

Translation: - Krishna to Arjuna: - I will never talk about liberation. It is described by the Vedic scholars.

सर्वद्वाराणि संयम्य मनो हृदि निरुध्य च।
मूर्ध्न्याधायात्मनः प्राणमास्थितो योगधारणाम्

यः प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम्
