श्लोक का अर्थ
Arjuna asks how to recognize someone who has gone beyond the three qualities, how that person behaves, and how such freedom is reached.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna has just heard that a wise person can rise above the three qualities and escape birth, death, and aging. He now asks Krishna for the practical signs, the conduct, and the method, because he wants a lived answer, not a theory.
आज के संदर्भ में
