मन्यसे यदि तच्छक्यं मया द्रष्टुमिति प्रभो | योगेश्वर ततो मे त्वं दर्शयात्मानमव्ययम्
manyase yadi tacchakyaṃ mayā draṣṭumiti prabho . yogeśvara tato me tvaṃ darśayātmānamavyayam
主啊!若祢認為我能得見,那麼,瑜伽之主啊!請祢向我展現祢那不朽的自性(Ātman)。
O Lord, if You think that it is possible to be seen by me, then, O Lord of Yoga, You show me Your eternal Self.
阿爾諸那(Arjuna)極其渴望見到主的宇宙形相(Cosmic Form),並祈求主施予恩典。他深知此至高之見唯有透過主的恩典方能獲得。「瑜伽之主」(Yogeśvara)不僅指擁有八種神通(Siddhis)的瑜伽士之主,更指能將個體靈魂與絕對實相合一的瑜伽(Yoga)之主。
Arjuna is very keen and eager to see the Cosmic Form of the Lord. He prays to Him to grant him the vision. This supreme vision can be obtained only through His grace.Yogesvara also means the Lord of Yoga. A Yogi is one who is endowed with the eight psychic powers (Siddhis). The Lord of the Yogins is Yogesvara. And? Yoga is identity of the individual soul with the Absolute. He who is able to bestow this realisation of identity on the deserving spiritual aspirant is Yogesvara.He Who is able to create? preserve? destroy? veil and graciously release is the Lord. (These five actions? Panchakriyas? are known respectively as Srishti? Sthiti? Samhara? Tirodhana and Anugraha.)
