English Meaning
This is the Brahmic seat (eternal state), O son of Pritha. Attaining to this, none is deluded. Being established therein, even at the end of life, one attains to oneness with Brahman.
Hindi Meaning
हे पार्थ यह ब्राह्मी स्थिति है। इसे प्राप्त कर पुरुष मोहित नहीं होता। अन्तकाल में भी इस निष्ठा में स्थित होकर ब्रह्मनिर्वाण (ब्रह्म के साथ एकत्व) को प्राप्त होता है।।
Russian Meaning
Это место Брахмы (вечное состояние), о сын Притхи. Достигнув этого, никто не заблуждается. Утвердившись в нем, даже в конце жизни человек достигает единства с Брахманом.
Spanish Meaning
Éste es el asiento Bráhmico (estado eterno), oh hijo de Pritha. Al llegar a esto, nadie se engaña. Estando establecido en él, incluso al final de la vida, uno alcanza la unidad con Brahman.
Commentary
The state described in the previous verse -- to renounce everything and to live in Brahman -- is the Brahmic state or the state of Brahman. If one attains to this state one is never deluded. He attains Moksha if he stays in that state even at the hour of his death. It is needless to say that he who gets establised in Brahman throughout his life attains to the state of Brahman or,BrahmaNirvana (Cf.VIII.5?6).Maharshi Vidyaranya says in his Panchadasi that Antakala here means the moment at which Avidya or mutual superimposition of the Self and the notSelf ends.Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the second discourse entitledThe Sankhya Yoga.,
