द्वाविमौ पुरुषौ लोके क्षरश्चाक्षर एव च । क्षरः सर्वाणि भूतानि कूटस्थोऽक्षर उच्यते॥६-३७-१६॥
There are two ‘persons’ in the world: the perishable and the imperishable. All beings are called the perishable; the unchanging principle is called the imperishable.
english translation
उत्तमः पुरुषस्त्वन्यः परमात्मेत्युदाहृतः । यो लोकत्रयमाविश्य बिभर्त्यव्यय ईश्वरः॥६-३७-१७॥
But there is another, higher Person, proclaimed as the Paramātman—the imperishable Lord who, pervading the three worlds, sustains them.
english translation
यस्मात्क्षरमतीतोऽहमक्षरादपि चोत्तमः । अतोऽस्मि लोके वेदे च प्रथितः पुरुषोत्तमः॥६-३७-१८॥
Because I transcend the perishable and am higher even than the imperishable, therefore I am renowned in the world and in the Veda as Puruṣottama, the Supreme Person.
english translation
यो मामेवमसंमूढो जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम् । स सर्वविद्भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत॥६-३७-१९॥
Whoever, without delusion, thus knows Me as Puruṣottama—such a person is truly all-knowing and devotes themselves to Me with their whole being, O Bhārata.
english translation
इति गुह्यतमं शास्त्रमिदमुक्तं मयानघ । एतद्बुद्ध्वा बुद्धिमान्स्यात्कृतकृत्यश्च भारत॥६-३७-२०॥
Thus this most confidential teaching has been stated by Me, O sinless one. Understanding this, a person becomes truly discerning and has fulfilled what is to be accomplished, O Bhārata.
