Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 8, Verse 1

अर्जुन उवाच । किं तद्ब्रह्म किमध्यात्मं किं कर्म पुरुषोत्तम । अधिभूतं च किं प्रोक्तमधिदैवं किमुच्यते ॥ १ ॥

arjuna uvācha kiṁ tad brahma kim adhyātmaṁ kiṁ karma puruṣhottama adhibhūtaṁ cha kiṁ proktam adhidaivaṁ kim uchyate

Translation

Arjun said: What is that Brahman? What is adhyatma? What is karma, O best of persons? What is called adhibhuta, and what is said to be adhidaiva?

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

अर्जुन बोले: हे पुरुषोत्तम! वह ब्रह्म क्या है? अध्यात्म क्या है? कर्म क्या है? अधिभूत किसे कहा गया है और अधिदैव किसे कहते हैं?

Commentary

Arjun picks up the terms Krishna used at the end of chapter 7 and asks for each to be explained — a sign of an attentive student who wants clarity rather than impressive words.
