तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयम् ॥
tasmātsarveṣu kāleṣu māmanusmara yudhya ca |mayyarpitamanobuddhirmāmevaiṣyasyasaṃśayam ||
So remember me at all times, and fight. With your mind and intellect offered to me, you will surely come to me.
इसलिए हर समय मुझे याद करो और युद्ध करो। मन और बुद्धि मुझे सौंप देने पर तुम निश्चय ही मुझे पाओगे।
म्हणून सर्व काळी माझे स्मरण कर आणि युद्ध कर. मन आणि बुद्धी मला अर्पण केल्यास तू निश्चितच मला येऊन मिळशील.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयम् ॥
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।
Whatever state of being a person remembers when leaving the body at the end, that very state they reach, Arjuna, because they were always absorbed in it.
8.8अभ्यासयोगयुक्तेन चेतसा नान्यगामिना ।
With a mind trained by steady practice that does not wander elsewhere, a person who keeps thinking of the supreme divine Person reaches him, Arjuna.
