B.G 3.36
अर्जुन उवाच -
अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः। अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ॥३६॥
Arjuna said:
O Krishna, now, impelled by what the person commits sin, even without desiring, as if driven by force?
Gīta Bhāshya 3.36
The question stems from the statement - "One should not come under their sway" (3.34).
बहवः कर्मकारणाः सन्ति। क्रोधादयः कामश्च। तत्रकः बलवान् इति पृच्छति - अथेति॥
Many actions and causes exist such as the anger, desire, etc. Among them, which has more strength? So asks in 'atha' verse.
अथेत्यर्थान्तरम्। "तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्" इति प्रश्नप्रापकम् ॥३६॥
The word 'atha' shows a change of context. The question stems from the statement - "One should not come under these twos sway" (3.34).
Gīta Tātparya 3.36
Lord is the primary driver and gods are intermediatory drivers. Apart from these, what drives one's action?
परमेश्वरात् देवेभ्यश्च अर्वाक्तनम् प्रेरकं पृच्छति - अथ केनेति ॥३६॥
Apart from the direct influence of the Supreme lord, the intermediate influence of gods, To know what else drives one's action, it is asked in the verse - 'atha kēnēti', i.e. 'then, by what?'
