Is there anyone else also distinct from these two?

Yes, the Supreme Person is distinct from both. He is called 'Paramatma' (the Supreme Soul) and He sustains the three worlds and is designated as the imperishable Lord.(16-17)

The Supreme Person is distinct. Then O Lord, who are You?

O brother, I am the Supreme Person. I am beyond the perishable Matter and superior to the imperishable soul. Therefore I am known in the world as well in the Veda as Purusottama (the Supreme Person).(18)

What is the benefit a man derives by knowing You as 'Purusottama' (the Supreme Person). O Lord?

O Bharata, undeluded devotee, who knows Me as the Supreme Person, knows all viz.. nothing remains to be unattained by him. He worships Me with undivided devotion viz., he worships Me with his whole being.(19)

Then why do all people not worship You with their whole being?

O Sinless Arjuna, this teaching imparted to you is most secret. By 'knowing this, nothing remains to be known, to be done and to he attained by My devotee.(20)
