Explanation
Krishna describes the second kind of seeker. They worship the Imperishable, which cannot be defined, is unmanifest, present everywhere and beyond thought. It is kūṭastha, unchanging like an anvil, unmoving and constant. These negative and abstract terms describe a reality that cannot be pictured or named. The verse treats this path with respect, presenting its object in exalted language. Its sentence continues into the next verse, which describes the discipline and the result of this path.
