jnAna-karmAt-mikE-nIshtE yOgalakshyE susamkrute |
AatmanubhUtisidvyaRthE pUrvashatkEna chOdite || (Verse 2)

In the first aggregate of six are laid down(for practice) the two well 
established positions, i.e knowledge (JnAna Yoga) and sastraic action (Karma 
Yoga) which have for their aim the attainment of Yoga, contact with the self, 
through which they produce the realisaiton of one's own self.

"Nishtha" - a permanent position - state of of strady occupation by a person, 
or steady application of a person to a certain upAya till the attainment of the 
object. Yoga (contact) is obtained through karma yoga and through jnAna yoga. 
this is the means of Atma-Avalokona (Realisation of the self), i.e seeing the 
self face to face is to be obtained by fixing the mind on the Atman.

"Susamkrte" - Well performed, i.e with the knowledge that all that is for the 
delectation of the lord and under his command or guidance.

"Atma Anubhuti Siddhyarthe" - For the purpose of realising Atman - own self 
which is higher than the pleasures of senses, and some thing more precious - 
the realisation of the Atman - the prime cause for generating aversion for 
anything else.

"chodite" - Prescribed for being practised.

Thus by this sloka it is said that in the first six Adhyayas we are taught all 
about the jeeva and the means to be followed to attain salvation.
