अर्जुन उवाच ।
किं तद् ब्रह्म किमध्यात्मं किं कर्म पुरुषोत्तम ।
अधिभूतं च किं प्रोक्तमधिदैवं किमुच्यते ॥ ८- १ ॥
Arjuna said:
What is that Brahman, what is Adhyātma, and what is action, O best of men? What is called Adhibhuta and what is said to be the Adhidaiva?
अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन ।
प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः ॥ ८- २ ॥
Who and how is the Adhiyajna in this body, O slayer of Madhu (Sri Krishna)? And how are You known at the time of death by the self restrained?
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते ।
भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः ॥ ८- ३ ॥
The Blessed Lord said:
The highest imperishable principle is Brahman. Its existence as the embodied soul is called Adhyātma, and the offering (into the sacrifice fire) which causes the origin and development of beings is called action.
अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम् ।
अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर ॥ ८- ४ ॥
Perishable entities are called Adhibhuta, the cosmic Being is called Adhidaiva, and I myself am called the Adhiyajna in this body, O best of embodied beings.

अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम् ।
यः प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥ ८- ५ ॥
He who at the time of death remembers Me alone and passes out, leaving the body, attains My being- there is no doubt about this.
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।
तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः ॥ ८- ६ ॥
Thinking of whatever object at the time of death a person leaves the body, he attains, O son of Kunti, that very object, being constantly absorbed in its thought.
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयः ॥ ८- ७ ॥
Therefore, remember Me at all times and fight; with your mind and intellect devoted to Me, shall attain Me alone – there is no doubt about this.
अभ्यासयोगयुक्तेन चेतसा नान्यगामिना ।
परमं पुरुषं दिव्यं याति पार्थानुचिन्तयन् ॥ ८- ८ ॥
With a mind that has taken to the way of constant practice and does not stray to anything else, one who thinks of the supreme divine Being, attains Him, O Pārtha.
कविं पुराणमनुशासितार-

मादित्यवर्णं तमसः परस्तात् ॥ ८- ९ ॥
प्रयाणकाले मनसाऽचलेन
भक्त्या युक्तो योगबलेन चैव ।
भ्रुवोर्मध्ये प्राणमावेश्य सम्यक्
स तं परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम् ॥ ८- १० ॥
He who, endowed with devotion, meditates at the time of death with a steady mind, having by the power of Yoga properly fixed the life-breath in between the eyebrows, on the Being who is wise, ancient, the ruler, smaller than the smallest, the sustainer of all, of inconceivable form, resplendent like the sun and beyond ignorance- he attains the shining supreme Being.

यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति
विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः ।
यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति
तत्ते पदं संग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये ॥ ८- ११ ॥
That imperishable Principle which the knowers of the Vedas describe, into which aspirants bereft of all desires enter, desiring which one lives the abstinent life of a student-that goal I shall tell you in brief.
