Chapter 11
tvamaksaram paramam vedltavyad tvamasya visvasya param nidhanam
tvamavyayah sesvatadharmagopta sanatanastvarh puruso mato me
You are I recognise, the Imperishable, the Supreme Being (Aksara) to be realized; You are the ultimate refuge of this universe; the protector of eternal Dharma (duty and righteousness) and You are the eternally imperishable Being. 18
Comment:-
Tvamaksaram paramam veditavyam:- The Lord is the imperishable Supreme Being, who is attributeless and formless, and Who has been described in the scriptures, as the absolute or Brahma, and Who is realized by liberated souls.
Tvamasya visvasya param nidhanam:- Arjuna says, that the Lord is the ultimate resort or support, of the entire universe. At final annihilation, the entire universe merges in Him and at the beginning of new creation, it emanates again from Him. Thus He is the final resort (abiding place), of the entire universe. (Here Arjuna offers praises to the Lord, Who is formless, and is endowed with attributes.)
Tvam sasvatadharmagopta:- Arjuna says, that when there is, a decline of righteousness and rise of unrighteousness, the Lord by an incarnation, destroys the evil and protects 'Sanatana Dharma', the Dharma that has existed, since time immemorial and shall exist forever. [Here Arjuna offers praises, to the Lord, endowed with attributes and form.]
Avyayah sanatanastvam puruso mato me:- Arjuna assumes that the Lord is the eternal, imperishable Being, the almighty God, Who remains imperishable, even when the entire universe, perishes.
