By single-minded devotion can I, of this Form, be known and seen in reality and also entered into, O Arjuna

Nama Article 8th July 2015



Srimad Bhagavad Gita (11:54)
भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्यमहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन।
ज्ञातुं दृष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परंतप।। 


English Translation By Swami Sivananda

But by single-minded devotion can I, of this Form, be known and seen in reality and also entered into, O Arjuna.


English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda



Tu, but, O Arjuna; bhaktya, by devotion-. Of what kind?



To this the Lord says: Ananyaya, by (that devotion which is ) single-minded. That is called single-minded devotion which does not turn to anything else other than the Lord, and owing to which nothing else but Vasudeva is perceived by all the organs.



With that devotion, aham sakyah, am I able;

evamvidhah, in this form-in the aspect of the Cosmic form;

jnatum, to to known-from the scriptures; not merely to be known from the scriptures,

but also drastum, to be seen , to be realized directly;

tattvena, in reality;

and also pravestum, to be entered into-for attaining Liberation;

parantapa, O destroyer of foes.
