Anuvaad
"Nitya, avinaashi aur aprameya (pramaanon se na maape jaane wale) shareer-dhaari (aatma) ke ye shareer nashvar kahe gaye hain. Isliye, he Bharata, yuddh karo."
Bhaavaarth
Shareer — nashvar; aatma — teen visheshan. Aatma ke liye teen shabd: nitya (sada rehne wali), anāśin (avinaashi), aprameya (maapi na ja sakne wali). Shankaracharya batate hain ki "nitya" aur "anāśin" punarukti nahin: loka mein "naash" do tarah ka hota hai — (1) poori tarah mit jaana (jaise shareer ka raakh hona), (2) roop badal jaana (jaise bimaar hona). Aatma dono se mukt hai. Aur "nitya" kehne ke saath "anāśin" isliye — taaki koi aatma ko prithvi aadi jaisa "saapeksh nitya" na samjhe.
"Aprameya" — jaanne wala, jaana jaane wala nahin. Ramanuja ki sundar vyakhya: aatma ek vastu ki tarah nahin jaani jaati, balki jaanne wale ke roop mein anubhav hoti hai. Woh 13.1 ka uddharan dete hain — "jo is (kshetra) ko jaanta hai, use kshetragya kehte hain".
"Tasmād yudhyasva" — isliye yuddh karo. Yeh is updesh ka pehla aadesh hai. Dhyaan dijiye: Krishna yeh nahin keh rahe ki "aatma nitya hai, isliye hinsa theek hai". Arjuna ka shok is galat dhaarna par tika tha ki unke log nasht ho jaayenge. Woh dhaarna hate, to unhe apna kartavya — jo dharma-yuddh mein yoddha ka hai — karne se rokne wala shok-kaaran nahin bachta.
