Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)
[4]The Imperishable is the Supreme Brahman. Its dwelling in each individual body is called Adhyatma; the offering in sacrifice which causes the genesis and support of beings, is called Karma.
BG 8.3
अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते | भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः ||३||
akṣaraṃ brahma paramaṃ svabhāvo'dhyātmam ucyate | bhūta-bhāvodbhava-karo visargaḥ karma-saṃjñitaḥ || 3 ||
"Brahman is the Imperishable; Adhyātma is its presence in each body; Karma is the cosmic offering sustaining all beings."
