अर्जुन उवाच

arjuna uvāca

[अर्जुनः (arjunaḥ) - Arjuna; उवाच (uvāca) - said;]

Arjuna said:

स्थाने हृषीकेश तव प्रकीर्त्या जगत् प्रहृष्यत्यनुरज्यते च। रक्षांसि भीतानि दिशो द्रवन्ति सर्वे नमस्यन्ति च सिद्धसङ्घाः ॥३६॥

sthāne hṛṣīkeśa tava prakīrtyā jagat prahṛṣyatyanurajyate ca। rakṣāṁsi bhītāni diśo dravanti sarve namasyanti ca siddhasaṅghāḥ ॥36॥

[स्थाने (sthāne) - rightly; हृषीकेश (hṛṣīkeśa) - O Hṛṣīkeśa; तव (tava) - your; प्रकीर्त्या (prakīrtyā) - by glorification; जगत् (jagat) - the world; प्रहृष्यति (prahṛṣyati) - rejoices; अनुरज्यते (anurajyate) - is attached; च (ca) - and; रक्षांसि (rakṣāṁsi) - demons; भीतानि (bhītāni) - terrified; दिशः (diśaḥ) - directions; द्रवन्ति (dravanti) - flee; सर्वे (sarve) - all; नमस्यन्ति (namasyanti) - bow down; च (ca) - and; सिद्धसङ्घाः (siddhasaṅghāḥ) - groups of Siddhas;]

Rightly, O Hṛṣīkeśa, the world rejoices and is attached by your glorification. The terrified demons flee in all directions, and all groups of Siddhas bow down.

Gīta Bhāshya 11.36

The word “sthāne”, i.e. 'rightly', is indeed appropriate in the context of that which is about to be said, emphasizing the ability of Arjuna to grasp higher knowledge. 'Hṛṣīkeśa' - controller of the world.

यदेतद् वक्ष्यमाणं तत् "स्थाने" युक्तमेव इत्यर्थः। अग्नीषोमाद्यन्तर्यामितया जगद्धर्षणात् हृषीकेशः। केशत्वं त्वंशूनां तन्नियन्तृत्वादेः। प्रमाणं तु "शशिसूर्यनेत्रम्" इत्यत्रोक्तम्। ह्रुषीकाणां इन्द्रियाणां ईशत्वाच्च। तेषां विशेषतः ईषत्वं च "यः प्राणे तिष्ठन्" इत्यादौ सिद्धम्। "न मे हृषीकाणि पतन्त्यसत्पधे" इत्यादि प्रयोगाच्च। इतरः अर्थः मोक्षधर्मे सिद्धः-

yadetad vakṣyamāṇaṁ tat "sthāne" yuktameva ityarthaḥ। agnīṣomādyantaryāmitayā jagaddharṣaṇāt hṛṣīkeśaḥ। keśatvaṁ tvaṁśūnāṁ tanniyantṛtvādeḥ। pramāṇaṁ tu "śaśisūryanetram" ityatroktam। hṛṣīkāṇāṁ indriyāṇāṁ īśatvāc ca। teṣāṁ viśeṣataḥ īṣatvaṁ ca "yaḥ prāṇe tiṣṭhan" ityādau siddham। "na me hṛṣīkāṇi patantyasatpadhe" ityādi prayogāc ca। itaraḥ arthaḥ mokṣadharme siddhaḥ-

[यदेतत् (yadetat) - this which is being said; वक्ष्यमाणं (vakṣyamāṇam) - about to be stated; तत् (tat) - that; स्थाने (sthāne) - in place/rightly; युक्तम् (yuktam) - appropriate; इति (iti) - thus; अर्थः (arthaḥ) - meaning; अग्नीषोमादि-अन्तर्यामितया (agnīṣomādi-antar-yāmitayā) - by being the inner controller of Agni, Soma, etc.; जगत् (jagat) - the world; हर्षणात् (harṣaṇāt) - due to delighting; हृषीकेशः (hṛṣīkeśaḥ) - Hṛṣīkeśa; केशत्वं (keśatvaṁ) - the state of 'Keśa'; त्वंशूनां (tvaṁśūnāṁ) - of rays; तन्नियन्तृत्वादेः (tanniyantṛtvādeḥ) - because of control over them; प्रमाणं (pramāṇam) - the evidence; तु (tu) - but; शशिसूर्यनेत्रम् (śaśisūryanetram) - “moon and sun as eyes”; इत्यत्र (ityatra) - therein; उक्तम् (uktam) - said; हृषीकाणां (hṛṣīkāṇām) - of the senses; इन्द्रियाणां (indriyāṇām) - of the organs; ईशत्वात् (īśatvāt) - because of lordship; च (ca) - and; तेषां (teṣām) - of those; विशेषतः (viśeṣataḥ) - especially; ईषत्वं (īṣatvaṁ) - lordship; यः प्राणे तिष्ठन् (yaḥ prāṇe tiṣṭhan) - “who dwells in the prāṇa”; इत्यादौ (ityādau) - etc.; सिद्धम् (siddham) - is proven; न मे हृषीकाणि पतन्त्यसत्पधे (na me hṛṣīkāṇi patantyasatpadhe) - “my senses do not fall to the wrong path”; इत्यादि (ityādi) - etc.; प्रयोगात् (prayogāt) - by usage; इतरः (itaraḥ) - the other; अर्थः (arthaḥ) - meaning; मोक्षधर्मे (mokṣadharme) - in Mokṣadharma; सिद्धः (siddhaḥ) - established;]

The word “sthāne”, i.e. 'rightly', is indeed appropriate in the context of that which is about to be said. 'Hṛṣīkeśa' means the controller of the world through being the inner ruler of Agni, Soma, etc. “Keśa” refers to rays, and he is their controller. Evidence for this is in “śaśisūryanetram”, i.e. “moon and sun as eyes”. Lordship over the senses is established from “yaḥ prāṇe tiṣṭhan”, i.e. “who dwells in the prāṇa” etc., and the usage “na me hṛṣīkāṇi patantyasatpadhe”, i.e. “my senses do not fall to the wrong path”. Another meaning is established in Mokṣadharma:

"सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ शश्वत् केशैर्मे अंशुसञ्ज्ञितैः। बोधयन् स्थापयंश्चैव जगदुत्पद्यते पृथक्॥ बोधनात् स्थापनाच्चैव जगतो हर्षसम्भवात्। अग्नीषोमकृतैरेभिः कर्मभिः पाण्डुनन्दन। हृषीकेशो महेतानो वरदो लोकभावनः॥"

"sūryācandramasau śaśvat keśairme aṁśusañjñitaiḥ। bodhayan sthāpayaṁścaiva jagadutpadyate pṛthak॥ bodhanāt sthāpanāccaiva jagato harṣasambhavāt। agnīṣomakṛtairebhiḥ karmabhiḥ pāṇḍunandana। hṛṣīkeśo mahetāno varado lokabhāvanaḥ॥"

[सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ (sūryācandramasau) - the sun and moon; शश्वत् (śaśvat) - constantly; केशैः (keśaiḥ) - by rays; मे (me) - my; अंशुसञ्ज्ञितैः (aṁśusañjñitaiḥ) - named as rays; बोधयन् (bodhayan) - enlightening; स्थापयन् (sthāpayan) - establishing; च (ca) - and; एव (eva) - indeed; जगत् (jagat) - the world; उत्पद्यते (utpadyate) - arises; पृथक् (pṛthak) - separately; बोधनात् (bodhanāt) - from enlightenment; स्थापनात् (sthāpanāt) - and establishment; च (ca) - and; एव (eva) - indeed; जगतः (jagataḥ) - of the world; हर्षसम्भवात् (harṣasambhavāt) - due to the arising of delight; अग्नीषोमकृतैः (agnīṣomakṛtaiḥ) - by the acts involving Agni and Soma; एभिः (ebhiḥ) - these; कर्मभिः (karmabhiḥ) - actions; पाण्डुनन्दन (pāṇḍunandana) - O son of Pāṇḍu; हृषीकेशः (hṛṣīkeśaḥ) - Hṛṣīkeśa; महेतानः (mahetānaḥ) - the great effulgent one; वरदः (varadaḥ) - granter of boons; लोकभावनः (lokabhāvanaḥ) - nourisher of the world;]

"The sun and moon, ever by my rays called “aṁśu”, enlighten and establish the world, which is thus born. From such enlightenment and establishment comes joy to the world. Through acts involving Agni and Soma, O son of Pāṇḍu, Hṛṣīkeśa, the great effulgent one, bestower of boons, is the nourisher of the world."
