bhūyaḥ

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः

bhūtvā — having once existed

It is not born, and it does not die. Having been, it does not cease to be. Unborn, unending, everlasting, ancient — the body is killed; that is not.

तत्र तं बुद्धिसंयोगं लभते पौर्वदेहिकम्

bhūyaḥ — again

There the understanding gained in the former body returns, and from there one strives again for perfection, son of Kuru.

ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानमिदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः

bhūyaḥ — further

I will tell you this knowledge in full, together with what is realised through it, knowing which nothing further remains to be known here.

भूय एव महाबाहो श्रृणु मे परमं वचः

bhūyaḥ — again

Hear again my highest word, mighty-armed one, which I speak to you because you are dear to me and for your good.

विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन

bhūyaḥ — again

Tell me again, and in detail, of your power and your glories. I am not sated by hearing them; your words are nectar to me.

एतच्छ्रुत्वा वचनं केशवस्य कृताञ्जलिर्वेपमानः किरीटी

bhūyaḥ — again

Hearing these words of Krishna, Arjuna joined his palms, trembling, bowed down, and spoke again — stammering, in great fear.

वायुर्यमोऽग्निर्वरुणः शशाङ्कः प्रजापतिस्त्वं प्रपितामहश्च

bhūyaḥ — again

You are the wind, death, fire, the waters, the moon, the lord of creatures, and the great-grandfather. I bow to you a thousand times, and again, and again I bow.

इत्यर्जुनं वासुदेवस्तथोक्त्वा स्वकं रूपं दर्शयामास भूयः

bhūyaḥ — again

Having said this to Arjuna, Krishna showed again his own form, and consoled the frightened one, taking on once more his gentle shape.

य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणैःसह

bhūyaḥ — again

One who thus knows the person and nature together with the strands is not born again, however they live.

परं भूयः प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम्

bhūyaḥ — again

I will declare again the highest knowledge, best of all knowledge, by knowing which those who practise have reached perfection.

ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्य यस्मिन्गता न निवर्तन्ति भूयः

bhūyaḥ — again

one should then seek out that place from which, having gone, none return — and take refuge in the primal person from whom this whole unfolding came.

सर्वगुह्यतमं भूयः श्रृणु मे परमं वचः

bhūyaḥ — again

Hear again my highest word, the deepest secret of all. You are dear to me, and so I will tell you what is for your good.
