Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-15 Puruṣottama Yogaḥ

Commentary The 'Vaiśvānara Agni' is the fire of digestion, in union with various activities of the breath; Prāṇa — inspiration, and Apāṇa — expiration, Krishna digests the 'four kinds of food' eaten by beings — these are foods which need to be chewed, sucked, licked and drunk. sarvasya cāhaṃ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṃ ca | vedaiśca sarvair aham eva vedyo vedānta-kṛd vedavid eva cāham || 15 || 15. And I am located in the hearts of all. From Me come memory, knowledge and their absence also. Indeed, I alone am that which is to be known from all the Vedas. I bring about the fruition of the rituals of Vedas; I alone am the knower of the Vedas.
