B.G 3.36
arjuna uvāca -
atha kēna prayuktō'yaṁ pāpaṁ carati pūruṣaḥ। anicchannapi vārṣṇēya balādiva niyōjitaḥ ॥36॥
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).
bahavaḥ karmakāraṇāḥ santi। krōdhādayaḥ kāmaśca। tatrakaḥ balavān iti pr̥cchati - athēti॥
Many actions and causes exist such as the anger, desire, etc. Among them, which has more strength? So asks in 'atha' verse.
athētyarthāntaram। "tayōrna vaśamāgacchēt" iti praśnaprāpakam ॥36॥
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?
paramēśvarāt dēvēbhyaśca arvāktanam prērakaṁ pr̥cchati - atha kēnēti ॥36॥
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?'
