Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
Now I begin the second half of the Gita (36-40). At the very start Lord Krishna will describe his main and secondary manifestations. I shall tell you that tale, which is full of savour and beauty. With the beauty of this language, the serene sentiment will surpass the amorous sentiment and because of that, these verses will adorn the Marathi Literature. If you will read closely, the original Sanskrit text and its Marathi commentary, you will be at a loss to know which is the original text. When ornaments embellish the beautiful body of a maiden, it is difficult to judge which adorns what. Similarly both the Sanskrit and Marathi languages have come together to explain the purport of the Gita. Listen now, with a serene mind, how they illumine and embellish the truth (41-45). When one wishes to disclose the purport to a text, the sentiments receive a boost, and the literary art shown in that regard becomes an object of admiration. I have, therefore, borrowed the beauty and youth of the Marathi language to elucidate the truths contained in the Gita. Now listen to what the Lord of the Universe, the scion of the Yadus and giver of marvelous joy to the enlightened souls, said to Arjuna. Jnanadeva, the disciple of Nivritti, says: Shri Hari said, O Arjuna, are you giving full attention to what I am saying?
