Here are heroes and great bowmen, the equals of Bhima and Arjuna in war: Yuyudhana, Virata, and Drupada the great chariot-warrior;

योत्स्यमानानवेक्षेऽहं य एतेऽत्र समागताः

I want to look at those gathered here to fight, come to do the bidding of Dhritarashtra's ill-minded son.

किं कर्म किमकर्मेति कवयोऽप्यत्र मोहिताः

What is action, and what is inaction? Even the wise are confused here. I will tell you what action is, and knowing it you will be free.

अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन

How is the lord of offerings present in this body, and who is it? And how are you to be known at the moment of departure by those who are restrained?

अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम्

The ground of matter is perishable nature; the ground of the gods is the cosmic person; and I am the lord of offerings, here in this body, best of the embodied.

And at the last hour, one who leaves the body remembering me alone goes to my own state. Of this there is no doubt.

One who truly knows these glories and powers of mine is joined to me by unwavering practice. Of this there is no doubt.
