  • Shri Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15, Verse 18

    Sanskrit Verse:
    यस्मात्क्षरमतीतोऽहमक्षरादपि चोत्तमः।
    अतोऽस्मि लोके वेदे च प्रथितः पुरुषोत्तमः।। 18।।

    Transliteration:
    Yasmāt kṣaram atīto 'ham akṣarād api cottamaḥ।
    Ato 'smi loke vede ca prathitaḥ puruṣottamaḥ।।

    Translation:
    Since I transcend both the perishable (kṣara) and the imperishable (akṣara), I am celebrated as the Supreme Person (Purushottama) in the world and in the Vedas.

    Meaning:

    Transcendence Over Kṣara and Akṣara: The Supreme Being, Lord Krishna, explains that He surpasses both the kṣara (perishable material world) and the akṣara (imperishable individual soul). This establishes Him as being beyond both the physical and metaphysical realms. Purushottama (Supreme Person): Lord Krishna declares Himself as Purushottama, the highest reality that is acknowledged and revered both in worldly teachings and in the sacred Vedic scriptures. Recognition in the Vedas: The scriptures glorify the Supreme as the ultimate essence, encompassing and transcending all existence. Eternal Superiority: This verse solidifies the understanding that the Supreme Personality is not only omnipresent but also the ultimate source and sustainer of everything in creation.

    This verse conveys the unique and transcendental nature of the Supreme Being, emphasizing that God is beyond all dualities and is the ultimate truth recognized universally.
