Explication

Arjuna opens this chapter with questions prompted by the terms Krishna used at the close of the previous one. What is Brahman? What is adhyātma, the inner self? What is karma? What is meant by adhibhūta, the domain of beings, and by adhidaiva, the domain of the gods? He addresses Krishna as Puruṣottama, the highest Person. The verse shows Arjuna as an attentive student who does not let unexplained words pass. His questions set the agenda for the chapter on the Imperishable and on the journey at death.
