GITĀ, TRANSLATION & COMMENTARY, CH. VII 1025
इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत । सर्वभूतानि संमोहं सर्गे यान्ति परंतप ॥२७॥ येषां त्वन्तगतं पापं जनानां पण्यकर्मणाम।
ते द्वन्द्वमोहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रताः ॥२८॥ ६६ जरामरणमोक्षाय मामाश्रत्य यतन्ति ये ।

[See the explanation given in the next chapter of the words adhyātma, adhibhūta, adhdaiva, and adhiyajña. The words" even at the time of death" in the last stanza have reference to the doctrine of the Dharma-Šāstra and of the Upanisads that a man has his next birth according to the desire which is most prominent in his mind at the moment of his death. Nevertheless, the word "even" clearly shows that, unless a man has acquired complete Knowledge of the Parameśvara in his lifetime, he cannot acquire that
