Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga

Hence for the man of wisdom, deliverance surely arrives. For Bhishma and others at the appropriate moment (of death) were appropriately in a state of complete equipoise. One should, therefore, depart (from the body) ever thinking of the Lord. For the men of wisdom and for those equanimous in action, at the time of departure from body, the Illusion of Sri Vishnu diverts their minds outward, thus in Garuda Puraana. After many lives, when devotion to and wisdom of Sri Hari matures, one eulogizes remembering Him to the end (of his life), but not others, .thus in Brahma Vaivarta Puraana. निर्वाणम् means being without a body. कायो वाणं शरीरं च, having been used as equivalent words. Myself having acquired this body having used such statements. The word inavaa-Na has also been used to convey as one not having any sense organs. How else would all the Puraana‟s have been able to describe the form of the Resplendent One ? The Resplendent One (Sri Vishnu) is none other than the Excellent Brahman, having spoken thus according to Bhagavat Puraana. Brahman, the Supreme Self, the Resplendent One, the Resplendent One, the Supreme Brahman, the Supreme Brahman is Janardana, the Supreme, who is the Great Brahman, On account of whom, I transcend all the mutable ones and supreme even to the Immutable One, He who is superior even to those which are accessible to senses, no one similar to Narayan, neither in the past nor in the future, none similar to you; how can, then, there be any one superior to You?
