Chapter 10
svayamevatmanatmanam vettha tvam purusottama
bhttabhavana bhutesa devadeva jagatpate
You alone know Yourself by Yoursetf, O Supreme Person, O creator of beings, O Lord of creation, O God of gods, O Lord of the universe. 15
Comment:-
Bhutabhavana bhutesa devadeva jagatpate purusottama:—Being the origin, of all beings even through His thought, He is 'Bhutabhavana', being the Lord of beings He is Bhutesa; being the Lord of the gods, He is 'Devadeva'; being the preserver of the universe He is 'Jagatpate', and being supreme, of all the persons He is known as 'Purusottama, in the world, and in the Vedas (Gita 15/18).
In this verse, five vocatives have been used for the Lord. In no other verse, in the Gita, so many vocatives have been used, at a time, because, he is enraptured by listening to His divine glories and His grace for the devotees.[1]
Svayamevatrnanatmanam vettha tvam:—He knows Himself, by Himself, without any external help of instruments etc. This knowledge, is beyond instruments. It is transcendental, and comes not through, instruments.
A conclusion, from the verse can be drown, that as the Lord knows Himself by Himself, the soul, a fragment of the Lord should also know itself, by itself, because it cannot be known, by senses, mind and intellect etc.
