Adhiyajnah katham ko 'tra dehe 'smin madhusudana, prayana-kale ca katham jneyo 'si niyatatmabhih
O Madhusudana (Krishna), who is the lord of sacrifice (adhiyajna) and how does He dwell in the body? How are those of steadfast mind to know You at the time of death? Arjuna's final two questions — about the nature of divine presence in sacrifice and how to know God at death — set up the crucial teachings about dying consciously.
- •The way one dies determines the quality of what comes after
- •God dwells within the body as the inner witness and lord of sacrifice
- •Steadfastness of mind enables conscious union at death
