Explication

The definitions continue. Adhibhūta, the domain of beings, is perishable existence, the changing world of things. Adhidaiva, the domain of the gods, is the Person (puruṣa), understood by many as the cosmic being who presides over the divine powers. And the adhiyajña, the lord of sacrifice in the body, is Krishna himself. The final statement answers Arjuna's question directly: the one to whom all sacrifice is offered is present within the body. Arjuna is addressed as best of the embodied.
