Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-4 Jñāna Vibhāga Yogaḥ
arjuna uvāca CommentaryAccording to the regular calculation of time, Krishna's birth was indeed later, contemporaneous with Arjuna's. And the birth of Vivasvān was at an earlier aeon, reckoned as twenty-eight cycles of units of four Yugas each [1] . How can Arjuna accept the truth of His statement that He taught it in the beginning? Now, there is no contradiction here, for it was quite possible that Sri Krishna had taught Vivasvān in a former birth. The memory of what was done in former births is quite natural for highly evolved persons. This should not be taken to mean that Arjuna does not know that the son of Vasudeva, the speaker, is the Lord of all, because he says later on: — 'You are the Supreme Brahman, the Supreme Light and the. Supreme Purifier. All the seers proclaim You as the eternal Divine Puruṣa, the Primal Lord, unborn and allpervading So also proclaim the divine sage Nārada, Asita, Devala and Vyāsa. You Yourself also are saying this to me' [2] |
