CHAPTER 11 SRIMAD BHAGAVADGITA संजय उवाच । एतक्ष्‍दत्‍वा वचवनं केशवस्‍य कृतांजलिर्वेपमान: किरीटी । नमस्‍कृत्‍वा भूय एवाह कष्‍णं सगद्गदं भीतभीत: प्रणम्‍य ।। 35 ।। अर्जुन उवाच । स्‍थाने हृषीकेश तव प्रकीर्त्‍या जगत्‍प्रहृष्‍यत्‍यनुरज्‍यते च । रक्षांसि भीतानि दिशो द्रवन्ति सर्वे नमस्‍यन्ति च सिद्धसंघा: ।। 36 ।। कस्‍माच्‍च ते न नमेरन्‍महात्‍मन् गरीयसे ब्रह्मणोअप्‍यादिकर्त्रे । अनंत देवेश जगन्निवास त्‍वमक्षरं सदसत्‍तत्‍परं यत ।। 37 ।। Translation:-Sanjaya said: — (35) Hearing this speech of Kesava, Arjuna, getting extremely frightened, having a choking sensation in his throat, and trembling, and folding his hands, bowed down low again, and said to Sri Krsna. Arjuna said:— (36) O Hrsikesa ! the (whole) world is engladdened by singing (Your qualities), and is happy (in that) ; demons becoming frightened of You, run away in the (ten) cardinal directions, and concerts of Perfect beings are bowing down before you. (All) This is only proper. (37) O Noble Soul ! You are the origin even of Brahmadeva, are even superior to him ; why will they not worship You ? Ananta ! O God of gods ! O Pervader of the Cosmos ! You are the sat and asat ; You are also the 'aksara', Which is beyond both. Description:-[It will appear from that the words 'sat' and 'asat' in this place mean respectively perceptible and imperceptible, (vyakta and avyakta), or mutable and immutable ; that Principle, which is beyond both sat and asat, has been described in the Gita, as the Immutable Brahman in the words "I am neither sat nor asat". The word 'aksara' is applied in the Gita sometimes to Prakrti and sometimes to the Parabrahman. ]
