अर्जुन उवाच | परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान् | पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम्
arjuna uvāca . paraṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma pavitraṃ paramaṃ bhavān . puruṣaṃ śāśvataṃ divyamādidevamajaṃ vibhum
阿爾諸那(Arjuna)說:您是至高無上的「梵」(Brahman),至高無上的居所,至高無上的淨化者。永恆的神聖「原人」(Purusha),原始之神,無生者,遍在者。
-10.13 Arjuna said You are the supreme Brahman, the supreme Light, the supreme Sanctifier. All the sages as also the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala and Vyasa [Although Narada and the other sages are already mentioned by the words 'all the sages', still they are named separately because of their eminence. Asita is the father of Devala.] call You the eternal divine Person, the Primal God, the Birthless, the Omnipresent; and You Yourself verily tell me (so).
「至高梵」(Param Brahman)是指最高的「真我」(Atman)。「至高」(Param)一詞表示純粹且無屬性的絕對者,擺脫了限制性的附屬物。祂是「實智樂梵」(Satchidananda Brahman)。較低的「梵」(Brahman)是指具有屬性(「有相」Saguna)的「梵」(Brahman)或「自在天」(Isvara),即帶有限制性附屬物或奉獻者所選擇的冥想對象。「至高居所」(Param Dhama)意指「至高光輝」(Param Tejah)或至高之光。從造物主到一草一木,至高存在都是其支持或基礎。因此,祂被稱為至高居所。「原始之神」(Adideva)是指在所有其他神祇之前就已存在的原始之神。這位神祇本身就是「至高梵」(Para Brahman)。祂是自發光的。「至高淨化者」(Pavitram Paramam)是指最高的淨化者。聖河和聖地只能清除罪惡,但「至高梵」(Para Brahman)能摧毀所有罪惡和無明(Ajñāna),即所有罪惡的根源。因此,「至高梵」(Para Brahman)或至高「真我」(Atman)是至高無上的淨化者。
Param Brahma The highest Self. The word Param indicates the pure and attributeless Absolute? free from the limiting adjuncts. It is Satchidananda Brahman. The inferior Brahman is the Brahman with alities (Saguna) or Isvara? Brahman with the limiting adjuncts or the chosen object of meditation by the devotees.Param Dhama means Param Tejah or the supreme light. From the Creator down to the blade of grass the Supreme Being is the support or substratum. Therefore He is known as the supreme abode.Adideva The primeval God or the original God Who existed before all other gods. This God is Para Brahman Itself. It is selfluminous.Pavitram Paramam Supreme purifier. The sacred rivers and holy places of pilgrimage can remove only the sins but Para Brahman can destroy all sins and ignorance? the root cause of all sins. Therefore Para Brahman or the Supreme Self is the supreme purifier.
