अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः ।
अनिच्छन्नापि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ॥ ३६ ॥

atha kena prayukto’yaṃ pāpaṃ carati pūruṣaḥ .
anicchannāpi vārṣṇeya balādiva niyojitaḥ .. 36 ..
Arjuna said :
But by what dragged on, O Varshneya, does a man, though reluctant, commit sin, as if constrained by force?
Read the commentary
Dragged on and constrained : as a servant by the king. Varshneya : one born in the family of the Vṛṣṇis.
The Lord says : Listen, I shall tell you who that enemy is, of whom you ask. who the source of all evil is :
[Vāsudeva is here called the Lord (Bhagavat), because He is one in whom the six attributes of unimpeded dominion etc., ever abide collectively and in perfection, and who possesses a complete knowledge of the origin of the universe etc. Says the Viṣṇu-Purana :
" ‘Bhaga’ means the six attributes—perfect dominion, might, glory, splendour, dispassion and salvation," (vi. 5-74).
“He is called the Lord (Bhagavat), who knows the origin and the end, the coming and the going of beings, what is wisdom and what is ignorance.” (vi. 5-78.)]
