Meaning of imaam

[Prabha Pillai]

Imaam vivaste yogam-- imaam not in the dictionary.

I  referred to Dic of Apte. Didnt find. But in some other site saw a sentence where it shows as this.
Imam vivaste yogam...
In Gita itself there are many references.

Samskrit dictionaries do not list all vibhakti forms. They only list the stem (praatipadika) with its meaning. I would suggest attending introductory Samskrit courses or reading introductory Samskrit books, instead of trying to make sense of shlokas using dictionaries.

Prabha,

  Not as an entryword, but within the body of the definition for ima, in the Monier-Williams,
there occurs imām:

ima
      •  the base of some cases of the demonstrative pronoun idam, q.v. (acc. sg. m. imam f. imām.; nom m.  pl. m. ime, &c.
      •  irregular gen. sg. imasya, ṚV. viii, 13, 21 [once]). [167,3]

Where the demonstrative pronoun idam, simply means this.

BTW.

A capital letter I, transliterates as a the long vowel ī, which was probably unintentional, but will lead to missing the word with the short vowel.
