Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

B.G 11.04

मन्यसे यदि तत् शक्यम् मया द्रष्टुम् इति प्रभो। योगेश्वर ततः मे त्वम् दर्शय आत्मानम् अव्ययम् ॥४॥

If you think that it is possible for me to see that, O Lord, then show me your imperishable self, O Lord of Yoga.

Gīta Bhāshya 11.04

How to meditate is taught in previous chapters. Lords 'svarūpa-sthitiḥ', i.e. established natural essence states, are described in this chapter. 'prabhuḥ', 'īśaḥ' - capable.

यथा श्रुते ध्यानं शक्यं तथा स्वरूपस्थितिः अनेन अध्यायेन उच्यते।

It is possible to meditate as taught (earlier), so too its 'svarūpa-sthitiḥ', i.e. established natural essence states are described in this chapter.

प्रभुः समर्थः -

The word 'prabhuḥ' means capable.

"नास्ति तस्मात् परं भूतं पुरुषाद्वै सनातनात्।"

"Indeed, there is no being greater than that eternal person."

इति मोक्षधर्मे।

- stated thus in Mokṣa-dharma.

"प्रभुरीशः समर्थश्च"

"Master, lord, and capable."

इत्यभिधानम् ॥१-४॥

- these are declared to be synonyms.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
