Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
13. Know these five-fold principles instructed by Me, O Arjuna, which are for the performance of actions according to Sankhya philosophy.
Bhashya :- Sri Krishna again reiterates संन्यास, the relinquishment of the actions, सङख्यकृतान्ते means in the philosophy (siddhant) of Wisdom.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Sankhya philosophy spoken here is the one propounded by Sri Vishnu in the form Sage Kapila. This is the one which accepts the existence of the Supreme Lord according to the Vedas. There also exists another Sankhya philosophy known as Sankhya which does not accept the authority of Vedas.
14. The seat (of action), similarly the performer of action, the instruments and the distinctive means are variously expressed, the Divine being the fifth.
Bhashya :- अधिष्ठानम् means the basis and the rest. कर्ता is Sri Vishnu. He alone is said to be the creator of everything. Besides, Jiva has already been explained as not the independent creator but करणम् are the instrument of senses. चेष्टा means actions. With the use of hands etc. the activities of
sacrifice etc. come to be performed. ध्यान, meditation etc. is the activity of the Mind. By such various actions alone संस्कार, the tradition becomes established born. Divine is that which is not visible. “The body, Brahman, the sense-instruments and their activities, similarly the fifth one, the unseen. these are the causes for the actions” thus in aayaasya scripture.
