9.1
इदं तु ते गुह्यतमं प्रवक्ष्याम्यनसूयवे ।
ज्ञानं विज्ञानसहितं यज्ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात् ॥ ९.१ ॥
The Lord said: To you, who are free of envy, I shall declare this most secret knowledge together with realization, knowing which you will be freed from the inauspicious.
9.2
राजविद्या राजगुह्यं पवित्रमिदमुत्तमम् ।
प्रत्यक्षावगमं धर्म्यं सुसुखं कर्तुमव्ययम् ॥ ९.२ ॥
This is the royal knowledge, the royal secret, the supreme purifier; it is directly experienced, in accord with dharma, very easy to practise, and imperishable.
9.3
अश्रद्दधानाः पुरुषा धर्मस्यास्य परन्तप ।
अप्राप्य मां निवर्तन्ते मृत्युसंसारवर्त्मनि ॥ ९.३ ॥
People who have no faith in this dharma, Parantapa, do not attain me and return to the path of death and saṃsāra.
9.4
मया ततमिदं सर्वं जगदव्यक्तमूर्तिना ।
मत्स्थानि सर्वभूतानि न चाहं तेष्ववस्थितः ॥ ९.४ ॥
All this world is pervaded by me in my unmanifest form. All beings abide in me, but I do not abide in them.
9.5
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥ ९.५ ॥
And yet beings do not abide in me: behold my divine yoga! Sustaining beings and bringing them into being, my Self does not abide in beings.
9.6
यथाऽऽकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय ॥ ९.६ ॥
Just as the mighty wind, moving everywhere, always abides in space, so understand that all beings abide in me.
9.7
सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम् ।
कल्पक्षये पुनस्तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्यहम् ॥ ९.७ ॥
At the end of a cosmic age, Kaunteya, all beings pass into my own nature; at the beginning of a cosmic age I send them forth again.
9.8
प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः ।
भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥ ९.८ ॥
Taking hold of my own nature, I send forth again and again this entire multitude of beings, helpless under the sway of nature.
9.9
न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय ।
उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥ ९.९ ॥
And those actions do not bind me, Dhanañjaya, for I sit as one indifferent, unattached to those actions.
9.10
मयाऽध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् ।
हेतुनाऽनेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते ॥ ९.१० ॥
With me as overseer, nature brings forth all that moves and does not move; for this reason, Kaunteya, the world revolves.
9.11
अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।
परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥ ९.११ ॥
The deluded disregard me when I have taken a human form, not knowing my higher nature as the great Lord of all beings.
9.12
मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः ।
राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥ ९.१२ ॥
Their hopes vain, their actions vain, their knowledge vain, senseless, they resort to the deluding nature of fiends and demons.
9.13
महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः ।
भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्ययम् ॥ ९.१३ ॥
But the great-souled, Pārtha, taking refuge in the divine nature, worship me with undivided mind, knowing me as the imperishable origin of beings.
9.14
सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः ।
नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥ ९.१४ ॥
Always glorifying me, striving and firm in their vows, bowing to me with devotion, ever united, they worship me.
9.15
ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते ।
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥ ९.१५ ॥
Still others, sacrificing with the sacrifice of knowledge, worship me, who face every direction, as one, as distinct, and in many ways.
9.16
अहं क्रतुरहं यज्ञः स्वधाऽहमहमौषधम् ।
मंत्रोऽहमहमेवाज्यमहमग्निरहं हुतम् ॥ ९.१६ ॥
I am the ritual, I am the sacrifice, I am the offering to the ancestors, I am the healing herb; I am the mantra, I am the clarified butter, I am the fire, and I am the oblation.
9.17
पिताऽहमस्य जगतो माता धाता पितामहः ।
वेद्यं पवित्रमोंकार ऋक् साम यजुरेव च ॥ ९.१७ ॥
I am the father of this world, its mother, its sustainer and its grandsire; I am what is to be known, the purifier, the syllable Om, and also the Ṛk, the Sāma and the Yajus.
9.18
गतिर्भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत् ।
प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययम् ॥ ९.१८ ॥
I am the goal, the supporter, the lord, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the friend; I am the origin and the dissolution, the foundation, the treasure-house and the imperishable seed.
9.19
तपाम्यहमहं वर्षं निगृह्णाम्युत्सृजामि च ।
अमृतं चैव मृत्युश्च सदसच्चाहमर्जुन ॥ ९.१९ ॥
I give heat; I hold back the rain and send it forth. I am immortality and also death, being and non-being, Arjuna.
9.20
त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा ।
यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते ।
ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोक ।
मश्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान् ॥ ९.२० ॥
Knowers of the three Vedas, drinkers of soma, purified of sin, worship me through sacrifices and pray for the way to heaven. Reaching the meritorious world of the lord of the gods, they enjoy in heaven the divine pleasures of the gods.
9.21
ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं ।
क्षीणे पुण्ये मर्त्यलोकं विशन्ति ।
एव त्रयीधर्ममनुप्रपन्ना ।
गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते ॥ ९.२१ ॥
Having enjoyed that vast heavenly world, they enter the world of mortals when their merit is exhausted. Thus, following the dharma of the three Vedas and desiring objects of desire, they obtain going and coming.
9.22
अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।
तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ॥ ९.२२ ॥
Those people who worship me, thinking of me with no other, ever devoted, I carry their gaining and keeping.
9.23
येऽप्यन्यदेवता भक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयाऽन्विताः ।
तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यजन्त्यविधिपूर्वकम् ॥ ९.२३ ॥
Even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other deities, they too worship me alone, Kaunteya, though not according to the proper rule.
9.24
अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च ।
न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते ॥ ९.२४ ॥
For I alone am the enjoyer and the lord of all sacrifices. But they do not know me in truth, and therefore they fall.
9.25
यान्ति देवव्रता देवान् पितृ़न्यान्ति पितृव्रताः ।
भूतानि यान्ति भूतेज्या यान्ति मद्याजिनोऽपि माम् ॥ ९.२५ ॥
Those devoted to the gods go to the gods; those devoted to the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship spirits go to the spirits; and those who worship me come to me.
9.26
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।
तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ॥ ९.२६ ॥
Whoever offers me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, that devoted offering of the pure-hearted one I accept.
9.27
यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् ।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥ ९.२७ ॥
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever austerity you practise, Kaunteya, do that as an offering to me.
9.28
शुभाशुभफलैरेवं मोक्ष्यसे कर्मबन्धनैः ।
संन्यासयोगयुक्तात्मा विमुक्तो मामुपैष्यसि ॥ ९.२८ ॥
Thus you will be freed from the bonds of action that bear good and bad fruits; with your self joined in the yoga of renunciation, liberated, you will come to me.
9.29
समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ।
ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम् ॥ ९.२९ ॥
I am the same toward all beings; none is hateful to me, none dear. But those who worship me with devotion are in me, and I too am in them.
9.30
अपि चेत्सुदुराचारो भजते मामनन्यभाक् ।
साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः ॥ ९.३० ॥
Even if one of very wicked conduct worships me with undivided devotion, he should be regarded as righteous, for he has rightly resolved.
9.31
क्षिप्रं भवति धर्मात्मा शश्वच्छान्तिं निगच्छति ।
कौन्तेय प्रतिजानीहि न मे भक्तः प्रणश्यति ॥ ९.३१ ॥
Swiftly he becomes righteous and attains lasting peace. Kaunteya, know for certain: my devotee never perishes.
9.32
मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः ।
स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम् ॥ ९.३२ ॥
For, Pārtha, even those who may be of sinful birth, and women, vaiśyas and śūdras too, by taking refuge in me attain the supreme goal.
9.33
किं पुनर्ब्राह्मणाः पुण्या भक्ता राजर्षयस्तथा ।
अनित्यमसुखं लोकमिमं प्राप्य भजस्व माम् ॥ ९.३३ ॥
How much more, then, the pure brāhmaṇas and devoted royal sages! Having come into this transient and joyless world, worship me.
9.34
मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु ।
मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः ॥ ९.३४ ॥
Fix your mind on me, be devoted to me, offer worship to me, bow down to me. Having thus disciplined yourself, with me as your supreme goal, you will come to me alone.
