CHAPTER 8 · VERSE 1
Bhagavad Gita 8.1
अर्जुन उवाच किं तद्ब्रह्म किमध्यात्मं किं कर्म पुरुषोत्तम। अधिभूतं च किं प्रोक्तमधिदैवं किमुच्यते॥
Arjuna said: O Supreme Person, what is Brahman? What is Adhyatma (the individual Self)? What is Karma (action)? What is declared to be Adhibhuta (the physical realm)? And what is called Adhidaiva (the divine realm)?
Arjuna asks seven fundamental philosophical questions seeking precise definitions of key spiritual terms mentioned at the end of Chapter 7.
