  Bhagavadgeeta - Adhyaya 14 Chapter #:  14 Chapter Name:  Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga (  ಗುಣತ್ರಯವಿಭಾಗಯೋಗಃ ) Total verses (slokas) in this chapter:  27 Adhyaya - 14, Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga Chapter of Gita (here after referred as BG) -  DVG calls this chapter as : "Thrigunatantra Jagarooka Yoga". In the last chapter, we have seen, the entire universe is composed of basic 24 elements and the power (kshetragna) is also the one and only supreme who controls it. If so, then Arjuna wonders how there are so many different varieties of entities which differ again in their nature despite being formed by the very basic 24 elements. This chapter is Krishna's answer to that query of Arjuna. He gives pertinent details on the essential characteristics of each individually, their cause, the level of their potency, how they influence a living entity affected by them as well as the signs of one who has risen above them.

He describes what he sees, including a vision of Krishna devouring all of the Kauravas. Arjuna asks Krishna "Who are you, in this terrifying form?" Krishna responds that he is death and that Arjuna must fight in the battle because the Kauravas will die regardless. Krishna has already killed them; Arjuna is merely his instru...
