In a private mail , Sri Narendran inquired about the following line appearing verbatim in Sri Bhagavadh GitA : mama vatmaanuvarthanthE manushyA: paartha sarvasa: This same line appears in the slokam of Chapter III( slOkam 22) dealing with Karma Yogam and again in chapter IV (slOkam 10 ) dealing with J~nAna karma sanyAsa yOgam . Sri Narendran wanted to know how AchAryAs like Sri Ramanuja and Swami Desikan intrepret this text appearing under two different chapters . Inview of possible interest on the subject by other membersof the group and to facilitate additional discussions from experts in Sri Bhagavadh Gita like Professor Prasad , I will post my response in the Bhakthi list. Hope Sri Narendran does not mind it . V.Sadagopan ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: INTERNET:dran@xxxx, INTERNET:dran@xxxx TO: V.
