Uitleg

Krishna places his teaching within a long tradition. The seers have sung of the field and its knower in many ways and in many metres, which most readers take as a reference to the Vedic hymns and Upanishads. It has also been set out in the brahma-sūtra-padas, words about Brahman that are reasoned and conclusive. Some identify these with the text known as the Brahma Sutras; others take the phrase more broadly as concise statements about Brahman found in the Upanishads. Either way, the verse claims continuity: what Krishna teaches is not new invention but the distilled insight of the sages.
