पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

AKṢARAPURUṢA : When all was set for the Kuru- kṣetra battle Arjuna showed signs of weakness and hesi- tated to proceed for a fight. Śrī Kṛṣṇa then through the famous Gītā enunciated a philosophy of life during the course of which he speaks about the two puruṣas, Kṣara and Aksara. All that we see in this world and enjoy are Kṣara and the power behind all of them is Akṣara. God is one who transcends the aspects Kṣara and Akṣara and stands as the root cause of all life. (Ślokas 16 to 19, Chapter 39, Bhīṣma Parva, M.B.)
