३. श्लोक का अनुवाद (Verse Translation)

हिंदी अनुवाद

हे भारत ! जिस प्रकार एक ही सूर्य इस सम्पूर्ण जगत् को प्रकाशित करता है, उसी प्रकार क्षेत्रज्ञ (पुरुष) सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्र (शरीर) को प्रकाशित करता है।

English Translation

O Bhārata, just as the sun alone illuminates this entire world, so does the knower of the field illuminate the entire field.

४. विस्तृत व्याख्या एवं भावार्थ (Commentary)

This verse beautifully illustrates the relationship between the knower (consciousness) and the known (material nature). Just as the sun illumines the entire world without being affected, the soul illumines the body with consciousness. The sun is one, yet its light pervades everywhere; similarly, the soul, though one, manifests consciousness throughout the body. "भारत" addresses Arjuna as one who is worthy of this knowledge.
