Gīta Bhāshya 13.23
The verse 'upadraṣṭa' answers the question such as from where? (in the body) and what (the lord) needs to be grasped. 'anumantā' - the approver, the special determiner who determines again and again, at every stage.
"यतश्च यत्" इत्याह - उपद्रष्टेति॥
"yataśca yat" ityāha - upadraṣṭeti॥
[यतः (yataḥ) - from where; च (ca) - and; यत् (yat) - what; इति (iti) - thus; आह (āha) - said; उपद्रष्टा (upadraṣṭā) - overseer; इति (iti) - thus;]
The verse 'upadraṣṭa' answers the question "From where, and what?".
अनुमन्ता अनु अनु विशेषतो निरूपकः ॥२३॥
anumantā anu anu viśeṣato nirūpakaḥ ॥23॥
[अनुमन्ता (anumantā) - approver; अनु (anu) - after; अनु (anu) - after; विशेषतः (viśeṣataḥ) - specifically; निरूपकः (nirūpakaḥ) - determiner;]
The word 'anumantā', i.e. approver, conveys Him as the special determiner, again and again, at every stage.
