Should I give the reference?

[Guest guest]

kesagra-sata-bhagasya

satamsah sadrsatmakah

jivah suksma-svarupo 'yam

sankhyatito hi cit-kanah

[Cc. Madhya 19.140]

"There are innumerable particles of spiritual atoms, which are measured as

one ten-thousandth of the upper portion of the hair."

 

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Bg 2.17

 

 

The reference to CC is missing in the printed copy of BG English (from

Mumbai BBT). Is it a mistake? or Was it removed due to some updation?

No.

No.

 

All references in brackets in the VedaBase were added by the Archives;

they're not in the original book. Always check the latest English printing,

now the 2006 printing from the NEBBT. If you can't secure it right away,

printing from 2004 or later will do. The actual provenance of the verse is

the commentary by Sridhara Swami or one of the other commentators on one of

the verses of SB 10.87. We don't know what Purana or other literature the

verse actually comes from. That's why there is no reference.

 

Your servant,
