Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam· bhāṣya

साधिभूताधिदैवम् अधिभूतं च अधिदैवं च अधिभूताधिदैवम् , सह अधिभूताधिदैवेन वर्तते इति साधिभूताधिदैवं च मां ये विदुः, साधियज्ञं च सह अधियज्ञेन साधियज्ञं ये विदुः, प्रयाणकाले मरणकाले अपि च मां ते विदुः युक्तचेतसः समाहितचित्ता इति ॥ ३० ॥

In plain words

Those who know Me together with everything that governs the world of beings and everything unseen that governs it — that is what it means to know Me 'with adhibhūta and adhidaiva.' And those who know Me together with the very heart of sacrifice, 'with adhiyajña' — even at the hour of death, right up to that last breath, they still know Me this way. That is what it means to have a mind that is yoked, steadied, gathered completely into one point.

Close to the Sanskrit

'Together with adhibhūta and adhidaiva': adhibhūta and adhidaiva together are 'adhibhūta-and-adhidaiva'; that which exists together with adhibhūta-and-adhidaiva is 'sa-adhibhūtādhidaiva' — those who know Me thus, together with adhibhūta and adhidaiva; and those who know Me 'sa-adhiyajña,' together with adhiyajña, as 'sa-adhiyajña' — even at the time of departure, that is, at the time of death, they know Me — of yoked mind, that is, of concentrated mind.

Gītā Vāhini

అపుడు కృష్ణుడు “బావా! విను. బ్రహ్మము, అధ్యాత్మము, కర్మ, అధిభూతము, అధిదైవము, అధియజ్ఞము అనునవి తెలిసికొన్న, నా తత్త్వము పూర్తిగా తెలియును. నా తత్త్వము ఎవరు తెలుసుకొందురో వారు నన్నే పొందుదురు” అన్నాడు.

In plain words

Then Kṛṣṇa said, “Brother-in-law! Listen. If one knows these, Brahman, adhyātma, karma, adhibhūta, adhidaiva and adhiyajña, My tattva is fully known. Whoever knows My tattva attains Me alone.”
