Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya

।।14.1।। --,परं ज्ञानम् इति व्यवहितेन संबन्धः? भूयः पुनः पूर्वेषु सर्वेष्वध्यायेषु असकृत् उक्तमपि प्रवक्ष्यामि। तच्च परं परवस्तुविषयत्वात्। किं तत् ज्ञानं सर्वेषां ज्ञानानाम् उत्तमम्? उत्तमफलत्वात्। ज्ञानानाम् इति न अमानित्वादीनाम् किं तर्हि यज्ञादिज्ञेयवस्तुविषयाणाम् इति। तानि न मोक्षाय? इदं तु मोक्षाय इति परोत्तमशब्दाभ्यां स्तौति श्रोतृबुद्धिरुच्युत्पादनार्थम्। यत् ज्ञात्वा यत् ज्ञानं ज्ञात्वा प्राप्य मुनयः संन्यासिनः मननशीलाः सर्वे परां सिद्धिं मोक्षाख्याम् इतः अस्मात् देहबन्धनात् ऊर्ध्वं गताः प्राप्ताः।।अस्याश्च सिद्धेः ऐकान्तिकत्वं दर्शयति --,

Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।14.1।।तथा जो यह कहा कि प्रकृतिमें स्थित होना और गुणविषयक आसक्ति -- यही संसारका कारण है? सो किस गुणमें किस प्रकारसे आसक्ति होती है गुण कौनसे हैं वे कैसे बाँधते हैं गुणोंसे छुटकारा कैसे होता है तथा मुक्तका लक्षण क्या है यह सब बातें बतलानेके लिये भी इस अध्यायका आरम्भ किया जाता है --,श्रीभगवान् बोले -- परम् इस पदका दूरस्थ ज्ञानम् पदके साथ सम्बन्ध है। समस्त ज्ञानोंमें उत्तम परम ज्ञानको अर्थात् जो पर वस्तुविषयक होनेसे परम है और उत्तम फलयुक्त होनेके कारण समस्त ज्ञानोंमें उत्तम है? उस परम उत्तम ज्ञानको? यद्यपि पहलेके सब अध्यायोंमें बारबार कह आया हूँ? तो भी फिर भली प्रकार कहूँगा। यहाँ ज्ञानोंमेंसे इस शब्दसे अमानित्वादि ज्ञानसाधनोंका ग्रहण नहीं है। किंतु यज्ञादि ज्ञेयवस्तुविषयक ज्ञानोंका ग्रहण है। वे यज्ञादिविषयक ज्ञान मोक्षके लिये उपयुक्त नहीं हैं और यह ( जो इस अध्यायमें बतलाया जाता है वह ) मोक्षके लिये उपयुक्त है? इसलिये परम और उत्तम इन दोनों शब्दोंसे श्रोताकी बुद्धिमें रुचि उत्पन्न करनेके लिये इसकी स्तुति करते हैं। जिस ज्ञानको जानकर -- पाकर सब मननशील संन्यासीजन इस देहबन्धनसे मुक्त होनेके बाद मोक्षरूप परम सिद्धिको प्राप्त हुए हैं? ( ऐसा परम ज्ञान कहूँगा )।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

14.1 The Lord said I shall declare again another kind of knowledge: It is the best of all forms of knowledge, by knowing which all the sages have attained the state of perfection beyond this world.

English Translation By Swami Sivananda

14.1 The Blessed Lord said I will again declare (to thee) that supreme knowledge, the best of all knowledge, having known which all the sages have gone to the supreme perfection after this life.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

14.1 The word param should be connected with the remote word jnanam. Pravaksyami, I shall speak; bhuyah, again-even though spoken of more than once in all the preceding chapters; of the param, supreme-it is supreme because it is concerned with the supreme Reality;-which is that?-jnanam, Knowledge; uttamam, the best-since it has the best result; jnananam, of all knowledges-. 'Of all knowledges' does not mean 'of humility' etc. (13.7-11). What then? It means 'among knowledges of all knowable things like sacrifice etc.' They do not lead to Liberation, but this (Knowledge) leads to Liberation. Hence the Lord praises it with the words 'supreme' and 'best', so as to arouse interest in the intellect of the listener. Yat jnatva, by realizing which, by attaining which Knowledge; sarve, all; munayah, the contemplatives, the monks [But not those who espoused monasticsim as a formality in in the fourth stage of life.] gatah, reached, attained; itah, from here-when this bondage of the body had ceased; param, the highest; siddhim, Perfection, called Liberation. And the Lord shows the infallibility of this Perfection:

14.1 The Blessed Lord said I shall speak again of the supreme Knowledge, the best of all knowledges, by realizing which all the contemplatives reached the highest Perfection from here.

English Translation By By Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

14.1. The Bhagavat said Further, once again I shall explain the supreme knowledge, the best among the knowledges, by knowing which all the seers have gone from here to the Supreme Success.

English Translation by Shri Purohit Swami

14.1 "Lord Shri Krishna continued: Now I will reveal unto the Wisdom which is beyond knowledge, by attaining which the sages have reached Perfection.
