Uitleg
Krishna introduces a threefold teaching about the person (puruṣa). In the world there are two kinds: the perishable (kṣara), which includes all beings that change and pass away, and the imperishable (akṣara), described as kūṭastha, standing firm like an anvil. Interpreters have read the imperishable as the individual self, as unmanifest nature, or as the unchanging aspect of reality. The verse prepares for the next two, which name a third and highest person beyond both.
