अर्जुन उवाच | स्थितप्रज्ञस्य का भाषा समाधिस्थस्य केशव | स्थितधीः किं प्रभाषेत किमासीत व्रजेत किम्
arjuna uvāca . sthitaprajñasya kā bhāṣā samādhisthasya keśava . sthitadhīḥ kiṃ prabhāṣeta kimāsīta vrajeta kim
阿周那说：噢，凯沙瓦，入于三摩地、住于智慧者的特征是什么？住于智慧者如何言谈？如何安坐？如何行走？
Arjuna said O kesava, what is the description of a man of steady wisdom who is Self-absorbed? How does the man of steady wisdom speak? How does he sit? How does he move about?
阿周那向克里希那主询问，一位在三摩地中安住于真我者的特征，包括他如何言谈、安坐和行走。本章第55至72节将描述住于智慧者的特征以及达到这种稳固真我知识的方法。稳固的智慧是指通过直接证悟而获得的，对自身与梵（Brahman）同一性的坚定认知。
Arjuna wants to know from Lord Krishna the characteristic marks of one who is established in the Self in Samadhi how he speaks? how he sits? how he moves about.The characteristic marks of the sage of steady wisdom and the means of attaining that steady knowledge of the Self are described in the verses from 55 to 72 of this chapter.Steady wisdom is settled knowledge of ones identity with Brahman attained by direct realisation. (Cf.XIV.21? 27).
