Commentary:
Arjuna put seven estions to the Lord:

1. What is that rahman Is it rahman with the Upadhis (limiting adjuncts) or rahman without them

2. Is it the aggregate of the senses or individual consciousness (Pratyak-Chaitanya) or distinct, pure consciousness

3. What is Karma Is it Yajna Or, is it distinct from Yajna

4. Adhibhuta is knowledge of the hutas. Is this the knowledge of the elements or something else

5. Adhidaiva is that which is associated with the gods. Is this the meditation on the gods Or, is it the consciousness associated with the Suryamandala, etc.

6. Adhiyajna is that which is associated with Yajnas or Vedic rituals. Is this the Para rahman (Supreme eing) or any special god Is it of the same form (Tadatmyarupa) or is it entirely non-different (Abheda) Does it exist in the body or outside it If it exists in the body, is it the intellect (uddhi) or distinct from it

7. At the time of death, when the memory is lost and when the senses become cold (i.e., when

they lose their vitality) how can the man of one-pointedness and of steadfast mind know the LordO Lord Madhusudana! Thou art all-merciful. Thou hast killed Madhu and removed the miseries of the people. Even so Thou canst remove my difficulties and doubts very easily. This is nothing for Thee, the omniscient Lord. (This is the reason why Arjuna addresses the Lord by the name Madhusudana.)
