Explication
Krishna describes the place and the seat for meditation. The spot must be clean, and the seat firm, neither too high nor too low. It is layered with kusha grass, a deerskin and a cloth, a traditional arrangement in ancient India meant for comfort, insulation and ritual purity. The details show that the Gita takes the body and its setting seriously. A stable, moderate and clean place is the outward counterpart of the stable, moderate and pure mind that meditation seeks.
