Uddhava said: O lotus-eyed Kṛṣṇa! You are the Supreme Lord, and thus the Vedic literatures, consisting of positive and negative injunctions, constitute your order. Such literatures focus upon the good and bad qualities of work. In the Twentieth Chapter jṣāna, karma and bhakti are well defined, and the qualifications of each are described, with good and bad points. At the end of the last chapter Kṛṣṇa said that one should overcome seeing good and bad. Though Uddhava understood the Lord’s meaning, he desires to hear from the Lord’s mouth an explanation with various examples. Thus in five verses, he opposes Kṛṣṇa’s statement. Your orders, the Vedas, consist of orders and prohibitions. The orders concern good qualities of action which should be done. The prohibitions concern bad actions which are forbidden. By following orders one performs good acts of piety and goes to Svarga. By performing prohibited acts one performs bad actions of sin and goes to hell.
