Uitleg

Arjuna adds two further questions. Who is the adhiyajña, the lord of sacrifice, here in the body, and in what way? And how is Krishna to be known at the time of departure by those who have disciplined themselves? The second question turns from definitions to practice. Arjuna wants to know not only what these principles are, but how a person can hold to the highest at the most testing moment of life. The rest of the chapter answers this concern.
