6.32.1
किं तद्ब्रह्म किमध्यात्मं किं कर्म पुरुषोत्तम् ।
अधिभूतं च किं प्रोक्तमधिदैवं किमुच्यते ॥ ६.३२.१ ॥
O best of persons, what is that brahman? What is adhyātma? What is action? What is said to be adhibhūta, and what is called adhidaiva?
6.32.2
अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसीदन ।
प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः ॥ ६.३२.२ ॥
O Madhusūdana, who is the lord of sacrifice here in this body, and how is he? And how are you to be known at the time of death by those of controlled self?
6.32.3
अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते ।
भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः ॥ ६.३२.३ ॥
The imperishable is the supreme brahman. One's own nature is called adhyātma. The emission that causes the arising and existence of beings is named karma.

अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम् ।
अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर ॥ ६.३२.४ ॥
The perishable state is the adhibhūta, and the person is the adhidaiva. O best of embodied beings, here in this body I myself am the adhiyajña.
6.32.5
अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम् ।
यः प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥ ६.३२.५ ॥
He who departs, leaving the body at the time of death, remembering me alone, attains my state of being. There is no doubt about this.
6.32.6
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।
तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः ॥ ६.३२.६ ॥
Son of Kuntī, whatever state of being a man remembers as he gives up the body at the end, that very state he goes to, since he has always been absorbed in that state.
6.32.7
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयः ॥ ६.३२.७ ॥
Therefore, remember me at all times and fight. With mind and intellect dedicated to me, you will undoubtedly come to me.
6.32.8
अभ्यासयोगयुक्तेन चेतसाऽनान्यगामिना ।

कविं पुराणमनुशासितार-
मणोरणीयांसमनुस्मरेद्यः ।
सर्वस्य धातारमचिन्त्यरूप-
मादित्यवर्णं तमसः परस्तात् ॥ ६.३२.९ ॥
Whoever remembers the seer, the ancient, the ruler, smaller than the smallest atom, the sustainer of all, of inconceivable form, sun-coloured, beyond darkness.

At the time of departure, with an unmoving mind, joined with devotion and by the power of yoga, having fixed the vital breath well between the eyebrows, he goes to that supreme divine Person.

यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति ।
विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः ।
यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति ।
तत्ते पदं संग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये ॥ ६.३२.११ ॥
That which the knowers of the Veda call the imperishable, into which the ascetics free from passion enter, desiring which they practise celibacy—that state I will declare to you in brief.
6.32.12
सर्वद्वाराणि संयम्य मनो हृदि निरुध्य च ।
मूर्ध्न्याधायात्मनः प्राणमास्थितो योगधारणां ॥ ६.३२.१२ ॥
Having restrained all the gates of the body, confined the mind in the heart, placed one's own vital breath in the crown of the head, and abided in the concentration of yoga.

रात्र्यामे प्रलीयन्ते तत्रैवाव्यक्तसंज्ञके ॥ ६.३२.१८ ॥

परस्तस्मात्तु भावोऽन्यो व्यक्तोऽव्यक्तात्सनातनः ।
यः स सर्वेषु भूतेषुक नश्यत्सु न विनश्यति ॥ ६.३२.२० ॥

अग्निर्ज्योतिरहः शुक्लः षण्मासा उत्तरायणम् ।
तत्र प्रयाता गच्छन्ति ब्रह्म ब्रह्मविदो जनाः ॥ ६.३२.२४ ॥
Fire, light, day, the bright fortnight, the six months of the northern course of the sun: going forth by that way, people who know Brahman go to Brahman.
6.32.25
धूमो रात्रिस्तथा कृष्णः षण्मसा दक्षिणायनम् ।
तत्र चान्द्रमसं ज्योतिर्योगी प्राप्य निवर्तते ॥ ६.३२.२५ ॥

एकया यात्यनावृत्तिमन्ययाऽऽवर्तते पुनः ॥ ६.३२.२६ ॥

अत्येति तत्सर्वमिदं विदित्वा ।
योगी परं स्थानमुपैति चाद्यम् ॥ ६.३२.२८ ॥
Whatever fruit of merit is declared in the Vedas, in sacrifices, in austerities, and in gifts, the yogin, knowing this, goes beyond all of it and attains the supreme, primordial place.
