Arjuna sprach: O Herr, an welchen Merkmalen erkennt man den, der diese drei Gunas überwunden hat? Wie ist sein Verhalten, und wie überwindet er diese drei Gunas?
Arjuna said O Lord, by what signs is one (known) who has gone beyond these three alities? What is his behaviour, and how does he transcend these three alities?
Arjuna fragt den Herrn Krishna nach den spezifischen Kennzeichen eines Weisen, der die drei Gunas transzendiert hat. Er möchte wissen, wie sich solch ein 'Gunatita' (einer, der die Gunas überwunden hat) verhält und auf welche Weise er die Gunas überwindet, um diese Eigenschaften selbst kultivieren zu können.
Arjuna said O Lord? by what characteristics may a man be recognised as having gone beyond the three alities What is the behaviour of that Trigunatita sage (one who has gone beyond the three alities) and how does he go beyond the world and is above the Gunas Tell me that.These are the characteristics of the sage who has gone beyond the Gunas others should cultivate them.Just as a king is able to remove the grievances and sorrows of his servants? so also the Lord is able to remove the sorrows of His devotees. That is the reason why Arjuna addresses Sri Krishna as Lord and uses the term Prabhu. By using this word? Arjuna hinted to the Lord that He alone was capable of relieving his sorrows and pains. (Cf.II.54)
