Chapter X Sloka 36

यू तं छलयतामि म तेज तेजि वनामहम ् ।



जयोऽि म यवसायोऽि म स वंस ववतामहम ् ।।10.36।।

Chalayataam dyutam asmi – Among, those who gamble, I am the

gambling

It can be understood, as if Bhagavan Sri Krishna, is talking about the

gambling, of the Mahabharata. One needs skill, to gamble as well. One
commentator says, that: When Bhagavan gives the fruits of sinful
actions, it may be, that He takes the form of gambling, and gives the
sorrow.
Paapa phala pradhana kale Bhagavan dyutarupam grinhati iti pratibhati
So, Bhagavan is in the good, as well as, in the bad.
Saint Thirujnanasambandar sang, about the Lord in Madurai - Sri
Somasundara - that Bhagavan - is the virtues, as well as the follies.
So, Bhagavan is the underlying factor, for both, the good and the bad.
When we understand, that the bad is also Bhagavan, then we should
have the capacity, to be able accept the sorrows, as coming from Him.
We should not detest pain, or sorrow. If we err, we are bound to be
punished. It is the firm opinion, of the Hindu philosophy, that nothing
can be separated from Bhagavan. We do not separate, the satan (say-
ton) from the God. We understand Bhagavan, as the witness, of both,
the good and the bad - and that, He is present, both, in those who do
good, and the bad, alike. We should understand this, carefully.

Tejas tejaswinaam aham

In those, who are shining or brilliant, I am that shine, or their brilliance.
Outstanding, bright people - shine - by their intelligence, good conduct,
benevolent actions, and, by accepting big responsibilities, and by
carrying out, major welfare activities - firmly and boldly. We are not
talking, of the physical glow on their face - but, their bright knowledge,
their shining conduct etc. Bhagavan says, that He is the skill, and the
brilliance, of all that is brilliant.

When we see someone powerful, we should understand them, to be

God. We should realise, that their brilliance, is an expression of God’s
greatness. Such people are, manifestations of Bhagavan, and He has
given us the opportunity, to see HIM in their form.

Jayosmi – I, am success
Vyavasayosmi – I, am the determination, which has caused that success
Satvavatam satvam asmi – In those, in whom the sattva guna prevails
the most, I am, that sattva guna.

May we meditate upon these, as the Vibhutis of Bhagavan.
