Commentary (टीका)
Krishna describes the Supreme Self dwelling in every body using six powerful names. As witness, He observes all; as permitter, He sanctions all actions; as sustainer, He maintains life; as experiencer, He is the ultimate enjoyer; as Maheshvara, He is the great Lord; and as Paramatma, He is the Supreme Self. These names reveal the multifaceted relationship between God and the individual.
