In order not to leave in anybody’s mind an impression that any inconsistent statement has been made by the Lord, Arjuna asks अर्जुन उवाच अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः । कथमेतद्विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति ॥ ४.४ ॥ अर्जुन बोले आपका जन्म तो अभी का है और सूर्य का जन्म बहुत पुराना है; अतः आपने ही सृष्टिके आरम्भ में सूर्य से यह योग कहा था – यह बात मैं कैसे समझूँ ? (४.४) Arjuna said Later was Your birth, and prior was the birth of Vivasvāna (Sun); how am I to understand that You taught this YOGA in the beginning? (4.4) Krishna says that he taught this Eternal Truth to Lord Sun in the beginning of creation. It was quiet natural for Arjuna to think of Krishna as the son of Devaki, the Flute-bearer of Gokula. To Arjuna, his charioteer Krishna had a definite date of birth, and was only his contemporary. Therefore, Krishna Himself could not have advised the Sun who, by all calculations, is the one who manifested in nature much earlier that all the planetary worlds. Now, Q. What does the Lord declare?
