Step 2: Word by word interpretation
This is one of the very popular Shlokas of Bhagwat Geeta and this Shloka has Shri Krishna giving Arjuna the analogy of the soul shedding the body just like a man sheds his old clothes for new ones.
The following verb forms are seen here:
विहाय – Having वासांसि as its object
गृह्णाति – Having नरः as its subject and an implied noun वासांसि as its object
विहाय – Having ‘शरीराणि’ as its object
संयाति – Having ‘देही’ as its subject and an implied noun ‘शरीराणि’ as its object.
With this background, let’s have a closer look at each word in the Shloka.
