My dear brÄhmaṇas, I have now explained to you the confidential knowledge of SÄá¹…khya, by which one philosophically distinguishes matter from spirit, and of aá¹£á¹Äá¹…ga-yoga, by which one links up with the Supreme. Please understand that I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, and that I have appeared before you desiring to explain your actual religious duties.
To increase the faith of Lord BrahmÄ’s sons and establish the prestige of His teachings, Lord Kṛṣṇa now formally identifies Himself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. As stated in Vedic literature, yajño vai viṣṇuḥ. After explaining the sÄá¹…khya- and aá¹£á¹Äá¹…ga-yoga systems, the Lord clearly answers the original question of the sages, “Who are You, sir?†Thus, Lord BrahmÄ and his sons were enlightened by Lord Haá¹sa.
