Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

Dear bhAgavatAs,
Humble pranams to all. Continuation from where we left off.

2)"Nithyathva anithyathvam" AH 189

AtmA nilaiththadhu;sharIram nilaiyaRRadhu

BG(2.18): anthavantha imE dhEhA nithyasyOktha: sharIriNa: |
anAshinO pramEyasya thasmAdh yuDhyasva bhAratha ||

The material body of the indestructible,eternal(in existence) soul is
perishable.

NammAzhvAr: "minnin nilaiyila mannuyir AkkaigaL" - TVM 1.2.2
"uLLadhum illadhum" - TVM 1.2.8
explains the eternity and the indestructibility of the soul/Atma and 
the perishability of the body/sharIra

BG(7.4): bhUmir ApO nalO vAyu: kham manO bhudhDhir Eva ca |
ahamkAra ithIyam mE bhinna prakrthir aShtaDhA ||

(7.5): aparEyam ithas thvanyAm prakrthim vidhDhi mE parAm |
jIva bhUthAm mahA bAhO yayEdham DhAryathE jagath ||

Earth,fire,water,air,ether,mind,intelligence/intellect and ego are the
eightfold divisions of Mine(KrShNA). It is very clear that BhagavAn 
is the Atma of all the sentient and the non-sentient things.

NammAzhvAr: "parandhadhaN paravaiyuL nIr thoRum parandhu uLan
parandha aNdam idhu ena nilam visumbu ozhivu aRak
karandha sil idam thoRum idam thigazh poruL thoRum
karandhu engum parandhu uLan" - TVM 1.1.10

He spans the entire ocean by dwelling in each and every water droplet
in the ocean;likewise He spans the entire earth,AkAsh etc. He lives 
in the sUkshma sharIra and the soul that housed in it, as that can 
not be seen. 

BG(18.61) Ishvara: sarva bhUthAnAm hrdhEshErjuna thiShTathi |
bhrAmayan sarva bhUthAni yanthra rUDAni mAyayA ||

Bhagavan resides in the heart of all living entities;He administers 
them based on their karmas and activates their movements(by residing 
in them)like baggages on a carousel/conveyorbelt(which transports 
materials/packages/etc from one place to another) in airport.

NammAzhvAr:says the same thing in his pAsuram TVM 1.1.6

"ninRanar irundhanar kidandhanar thirindhanar,
ninRilar irundhilar kidandhilar thirindhilar" 

3)"niyanthrthvam-AH 189". This shows His potency and administration. 
Sri Azhagiya MaNavALa PerumAL NAyanAr uses the same numbering for 
comparison/equivalence of the two. It will change when he says TVM is 
superior to BG! 

PS:This is my poor translation of BG(know little bit of samskrt)as 
well as AH. Please do not hesitate to correct me at the right time.
