Atha pañcadaśo’dhyāyaḥ puruśottama yogaḥ
[Fifteenth chapter, ‘The Yoga of the Supreme Person’]
Śrī bhagavān uvāca
[The Blessed Lord said]
ūrdhvamūlam adhaḥśākham
aśvatthaṃ prāhur avyam
chandāṃsi yasya parṇāni
yas taṃ veda sa vedavit
[The Lord said They speak of the eternal fig-tree (of samsara) whose tap root is above, whose branches are below, and whose leaves are the Vedas. He who knows it is the knower of the Vedas.]
adhaś cordhvaṃ prasṛtāstasya śākhā
guṇapravṛddhā viṣayapravālāḥ
adhaś ca mūlāny anusaṃtatāni
karmānubandhīni manuṣyaloke
[Its branches, which are nourished by the gunas and whose shoots are the sense-objects, are spread below and above. Further, (its) roots are stretched below, causing actions in the world of men.]
na rūpam asyeha tathopalabhyate
nānto na cādir na ca saṃpratiṣṭhā
aśvattham enaṃ suvirūḍhamūlaṃ
asaṅgaśastreṇa dṛḍhena chittvā
[The form of this (tree) as such is not perceived here. (It has) no beginninig,middle, or end. One should cut, this well-rooted fig tree firmly with the weapon of detachment.]
tataḥ padaṃ tatparimārgitavyaṃ
yasmin gatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥ
tameva cādyaṃ puruṣaṃ prapadye
yataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī
[Thereafter, that goal should be sought reaching which they do not return again. (One should pray) I surrender to that primal God from whom the ancient process (of creation) has proceeded.]
nirmānamohā jitasaṅgadoṣā adhyātmanityā vinivṛttakāmāḥ dvandvair vimuktāḥ sukhaduḥkhasaṃjñaiḥ gacchhanty amūḍhāḥ padam avyayaṃ tat
[Those who are free from pride and delusion, who have conquered the evil of attachment, who are free from desires, who are free from the pairs of opposites known as pleasure and pain, who are ever committed to the spiritual pursuit, and who are wise attain that impersihable goal.]
na tad bhāsayate sūryo na śaśāṅko na pāvakaḥ yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṃ mama
[The sun does not illuminate it; neither the moon nor the fire. It is My supreme abode attaining which they do not return]

aum tat sat iti srīmad bhagavad gītāsu upanis̩hadtsu
brahma vidyāyām yōgasāstrē srī kr̩shnārjuna samvāde
purushottama yogō nāma panchadasho dhyāyah:
[Thus, in the Upanishad sung by the Lord, the science of Brahman, the scripture of Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, ends the fifteenth chapter, entitled ‘The Yoga of the Supreme Person.’]
