।।3.41।। इसलिये, हे अर्जुन ! तुम पहले इन्द्रियों को वश में करके, ज्ञान और विज्ञान के नाशक इस कामरूप पापी को नष्ट करो।।
3.41 तस्मात् therefore? त्वम् you? इन्द्रियाणि the senses? आदौ in the beginning? नियम्य having controlled? भरतर्षभ O best of the Bharatas? पाप्मानम् the sinful? प्रजहि kill? हि surely? एनम् this? ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम् the destroyer of knowledge and realisation (wisdom).Commentary Jnana is knowledge obtained through the study of scriptures. This is indirect knowledge or Paroksha Jnana. Vijnana is direct knowledge or personal experience or Anubhava through Selfrealisation or Aparoksha Jnana. Control
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।3.41।।जब कि ऐसा है इसलिये हे भरतर्षभ तू पहले इन्द्रियोंको वशमें करके ज्ञान और विज्ञानके नाशक इस ऊपर बतलाये हुए वैरी पापाचारी कामका परित्याग कर। अभिप्राय यह कि शास्त्र और आचार्यके उपदेशसे जो आत्माअनात्मा और विद्याअविद्या आदि पदार्थोंका बोध होता है उसका नाम ज्ञान है एवं उसका जो विशेषरूपसे अनुभव है उसका नाम विज्ञान है अपने कल्याणकी प्राप्तिके कारणरूप उन ज्ञान और विज्ञानको यह काम नष्ट करनेवाला है इसलिये इसका परित्याग कर।
