Gita 15.16

Purport - Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 verse 16

  • Perishable God = Brahm (the knowledge giver of Bhagavad Gita)
  • Imperishable God = ParBrahm (the master of 700 quadrillion universes). He is called imperishable because his age is very large but in reality he is also perishable.
  • In the next verse i.e. Gita 15.17 it has been clarified that the Supreme God is someone else who in real sense can be called Immortal God.
