Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 2

अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन । प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः

adhiyajñaḥ kathaṃ ko'tra dehe'sminmadhusūdana | prayāṇakāle ca kathaṃ jñeyo'si niyatātmabhiḥ

Translation

What is that Brahman? What about the Individual Self (Adhyātma)? What is action (Karma), O Puruṣottama? And what is declared to be the physical region (Adhibhūta)? And what is the divine region (Adhidaiva) said to be? And how and who is Adhiyajña (the Entity concerned with Sacrifice) here in this body, O Madhusūdana, and how at the time of death art Thou to be known by the self-controlled?

— Alladi Mahadeva Sastri
