Chapter 13
Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga

Tatparya Nirnaya :- Sri Krishna speaks of the quintessential qualities and attributes to achieve the means to fulfil the highest purpose of human existence. Realization of the essential principles means experiencing Sri Vishnu‟s supreme resplendence, in conjunction with Vedic Wisdom. That by which things become known is Wisdom. “This is said to be the Wisdom” thus Wisdom s said to be the means of Knowing.
13. I will now declare to you what is to be known, knowing which immortality is gained. The Supreme Brahman, which is without beginning, is said to be neither existence nor nonexistence.
Bhashya :- परं ब्रह्म is the one who is referred, thus speaks as a reminder. In other places, by saying thus: by whose energy. अनादिमत means one who has no origin nor any end. In other words, without any origin or beginning, (therefore, eternal). By the statement अनादि it may be doubted that just as there is no origin for Him.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- He also cannot be the origin form anyone else, as a matter of clarification, Sri Krishna says अनादिमत्. Primarily due to completeness of the attributes Supreme Brahman is called Janaardan. Being of form and formless, He is also called सत् (Existence) and असत् (non-Existence), since He is discernible from outward elements (like Earth, Fire, Wind etc.) and being eulogized in Vedas, Sri Vishnu, the supreme Lord, the immutable, also called sat and a-sat.
