Srimadacharya has given another
work on the Gita ,which may be said to
be supplementary to the Bhashya. In fact, this work
standing alone can give
us the true import of the Gita. The benedictory verse
'samastagunasampUrnam sarvadOsavivarjitam,
NArAyanam namaskritya gItA
tAtparyamuchyatE' itself contains the main import
of the gita that Narayana whose greatness is intended to be extolled in
this work is full of auspicious qualities and has no iota of flaw . All
other principles stated herein are subservient to this knowledge of the
supreme Lord.
In this work Srimadacharya
gives us the angle of view from which one has to study the Bhagavadgita
in the following words:'tatra sAxat IndrAvatAram uttamAdhikarinam
Atmanah priyatamam Arjunam....... .....bhagavadadhInatvat sarvasya'.
This means that the Lord tells Arjuna,who is a Jnani being the avatara
of Indra,but whose knowledge is temporarily blurred ,by his attachment
to his relatives,that his dharma as a xatriya is to fight against all
those opposed to the Lord and those supporting them ,as everything on
this universe is under His control.The Gitatatparya gives additional
explanations to the points already given in the Bhashya and also gives
some new explanations.
