Namaskaram
I request people to kindly explain some details on Anubandha Chatushtaya
for Gita.
I have heard that sloka-BG-9-1 इदं तु ते गुह्यतमं प्रवक्ष्याम्यनसूयवे |
ज्ञानं विज्ञानसहितं यज्ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात्
1. Adhikari: Anasooyave – one who does not cavil, is the qualification
of the student.
2. Vishaya: Jnanam – Brahma Jnana, knowledge of the Self, is the
subject.
3. Prayojana: Mokshyase Ashubhaat – the purpose is to free us from all
sorrow.
4. Sambandha: Pravakshyaami – what the Lord is about to say is directly
connected with the Prayojana of the text.
has the above 4 sambanda
And sloka BG-14-1 परं भूयः प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम् ।
यज्ज्ञात्वा मुनयः सर्वे परां सिद्धिमितो गताः ||
1. Adhikari: Muni
2. Vishaya: Brahma vidya
3. Prayojana-param sidhim
4. Sambhanda: Jyathva
My doubt is generally these has to be told at the beginning of the text
right? Why are it told in the middle? I was even able to find one from
BG-2-11 अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे । गतासूनगतासूंश्च
नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः
1. Adhikari: Pandit(one who has Panda(jnana))
2. Vishaya: ?
3. Prayojana: नानुशोचन्ति
4. Sambhanda:?
First of all my doubt is can this sloka be considered as the one telling
the Anubanda Chatushtaya? If yes, what would be the vishaya and sambandha?
What are the other slokas in Gita which talks about this? And can someone
explain more about Sambhanda part. I need some more clarity on this. Any
citations done by Acharyas would be of great help.
Thank you for your time.
