Chapter 13<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 13 verse 21<\/a><\/p>\n upadhrashtAnumanthA cha bharthA bhokthA mahESvara: |<\/em> asmin dhEhE – (present) in this body This AthmA (which has infinite knowledge and power) which is (present) in this body, is explained to be acting (upon seeing the body), allowing\/meditating (the actions of the body),\u00a0 supporting it, enjoying (the joy\/sorrow resulting from the actions of the body), the great lord (for his own body, senses, mind etc) and the great soul (which is greater than his own body, senses, mind etc).<\/p>\n ‘In this body, this soul excellent, is spectator and permitter, supporter and enjoyer, the great lord, and is also called param\u0101tma.’<\/span><\/p>\n The purusha<\/em> dwelling in this body (=soul) is spectator<\/em> or he who directs by means of the will, the several operations attaching to the body; and permits<\/em> them; also is he the prop<\/em> of the body, also the enjoyer<\/em> of pains and pleasures, born of bodily activities. Thus by virtue of ruling, supporting, and enjoying the body, the purusha<\/em> is the great lord (mahe\u1e63vara)<\/em> of the body, and the senses and the mind therein. That he is such a lord (\u012b\u1e63vara<\/em>), is further declared thus:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018When the lord (\u012b\u1e63vara<\/em>) goes into the body, and when he goes out of it, he seizes these and goes, like wind (seizing) the scents from their seats.\u2019 (Gi:<\/em> XV-8<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n To the body, the senses and the mind, he is also said to be param\u0101tma<\/em>=supreme spirit, \u2014within the limits of the body. The term \u2018\u0101tma\u2019 is often applied to signify \u2018body’, and \u2018mind,\u2019 as for example in:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018By meditation do some perceive soul in \u0101tma (body), by \u0101tma(mind).\u2019 (G\u012b:<\/em> XIII-24<\/a>). (Therefore param-\u0101tm\u0101<\/em> would mean the soul that transcends both the body and the mind).<\/span><\/p>\n The conjunctive particle \u2018api\u2019=also<\/em>, appears to refer to the epithet \u2018great lord,\u2019 meaning that so far as this body is concerned, the soul may be called the great lord, the param\u0101tma and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n Para\u1e25 purusha\u1e25<\/em>=excellent soul: so called from the natural potentialities of infinite consciousness and power pertaining to this purusha (soul) as detailed in Stanza:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Beginningless, having Me as Goal\u2019; et seq<\/em> (G\u012b:<\/em> XIII-12<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 13 verse 23<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 13 << Chapter 13 verse 21 SlOkam \u2013 Original upadhrashtAnumanthA cha bharthA bhokthA mahESvara: | paramAthmEthi chApyukthO dhEhE\u2019smin purusha: para: || word-by-word meaning asmin dhEhE – (present) in this body para: purusha: – this AthmA (which has infinite knowledge and power) upadhrashtA – acting … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-13","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5578\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
