Explanation

The chapter ends with more terms: those who know Krishna together with the adhibhūta, the domain of beings, the adhidaiva, the domain of the gods, and the adhiyajña, the principle of sacrifice (yajña), know him even at the moment of departure from the body. The phrase about the time of death introduces a theme taken up in the next chapter: the state of mind at the end of life. The verse leaves Arjuna, and the reader, with questions that call for explanation.
