Gita: Ch. 16 - Verse 66

[Guest guest]

To the List,

 

In Chapter 18 verse 66, of the Gita, Sri Krishna says:

 

Sarvadharmân parityajya mâm ekam sharaNam vraja.

Aham tvâ sarvapâbhyo mokshayishyâmi mâ shucah.

 

What does dharmam relate to here? Is it religion or is it duty?

 

Is he asking to renounce all other religions and dedicate yourself to him for

he shall cleanse you of your sins and grant you Moksha?

 

Or, is he saying: Commit to your duty and action to me and I will relieve you

of all sins contracted during that service and grant you protection from sin

accordingly?

 

What does Sankara say re these lines in his Bhasyam?

 

Will appreciate your help.

 

Thanks,

Ram
