अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन | प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः
adhiyajñaḥ kathaṃ ko.atra dehe.asminmadhusūdana . prayāṇakāle ca kathaṃ jñeyo.asi niyatātmabhiḥ
马杜苏丹纳啊！此身中的祭祀主宰（Adhiyajña）是谁？如何存在？ 以及在临终之时，那些心意专注的人如何能认识您？
O Madhusudana, how, and who, is the entity existing in the sacrifice here in this body? And at the time of death, how are You to be known by people of concentrated minds?
阿周那向主提出了七个问题：1. 什么是梵？它是有限定相的梵还是无限定相的梵？2. 什么是自性？它是感官的集合，还是个体意识，抑或是纯粹的意识？3. 什么是业？它是祭祀（Yajna），还是与祭祀不同？4. 什么是物质界（Adhibhuta）？它是对元素的认知，还是别的什么？5. 什么是神性（Adhidaiva）？它是对诸神的冥想，还是与太阳系等相关的意识？6. 什么是祭祀主宰（Adhiyajña）？它是至尊梵，还是某个特定的神？它与梵是同一形式，还是完全无异？它存在于身体内还是身体外？如果存在于身体内，它是智性（Buddhi）还是与智性不同？7. 在临终之时，当记忆丧失、感官衰竭时，心意专注、坚定不移的人如何能认识主？阿周那称主为“马杜苏丹纳”，意指主是全慈悲的，曾杀死马杜恶魔，消除众生的痛苦，因此也能轻易消除他的困惑和疑虑。
Arjuna put seven estions to the Lord1. What is that Brahman Is it Brahman with the Upadhis (limiting adjuncts) or Brahman without them2. Is it the aggregate of the senses or individual consciousness (PratyakChaitanya) or distinct? pure consciousness3. What is Karma Is it Yajna Or? is it distinct from Yajna4. Adhibhuta is knowledge of the Bhutas. Is this the knowledge of the elements or something else5. Adhidaiva is that which is associated with the gods. Is this the meditation on the gods Or? is it the consciousness associated with the Suryamandala? etc.6. Adhiyajna is that which is associated with Yajnas or Vedic rituals. Is this the Para Brahman (Supreme Being) or any special god Is it of the same form (Tadatmyarupa) or is it entirely nondifferent (Abheda) Does it exist in the body or outside it If it exists in the body? is it the intellect (Buddhi) or distinct from it7. At the time of death? when the memory is lost and when the senses become cold (i.e.? whenthey lose their vitality) how can the man of onepointedness and of steadfast mind know the LordO Lord Madhusudana Thou art allmerciful. Thou hast killed Madhu and removed the miseries of the people. Even so Thou canst remove my difficulties and doubts very easily. This is nothing for Thee? the omniscient Lord. (This is the reason why Arjuna addresses the Lord by the name Madhusudana.)
