Chapter 10
Link:—The Lord declared, "He who knows in reality this glory and power of Mine, gets established in Me, through unwavering devotion" (Gita 10/7). So Arjuna, in the next three verses, requests Lord Krsna to tell him of His divine glories in detail.
vaktumarhasyalesena divya byatmavibhutayah
yabhirvibhutibhirlokanimatitstvatit vyapya tisthasi
You alone, can describe in full Your divine glories, by which You remain, pervading these worlds. 16
Comment:-
Yabhirvibhatibhirlokanimarhstvam vyapya tisthasi:—The Lord, in the seventh verse declared, that he who knows in reality His glory and power, gets established in Him, through unfaltering devotion. So, Arjuna wants to know His glories and power, so that his devotion for Him, may be aroused. Arjuna wants to attain salvation, through devotion. So, he wants to know, in full His divine glories, which cannot be described by anyone else, beside Him.
Vakturnarhasyasesena:—Arjuna, tells Lord Krsna, that He spoke of His glories (in seventh, ninth chapters and also at the beginning of the tenth chapter). He also explained, that he who knows His glories is endowed, with unfaltering devotion. So Arjuna prays to Him, to describe Hid glories in full, so that he may know them and be endowed with unfaltering devotion, as this is an easy way for obtaining it.
Divya hyatmavibhutayah:- Arjuna, calls the glories of the Lord, as divine, because, whatever singularity is seen to the universe, is only the Lord's. So a striver should think that whatever singularity or attraction is seen, in the universe, is not of the universe, but only of the Lord. Therefore, to see anything charming in the world, is sense-enjoyment while to see the glory of the Lord is 'Vibhhti', and is also, 'Yoga'.
Appendix:—Arjuna says to Lord Krsna, "You alone, can describe in full your divine glories because You alone know Yourself by Yourself' (10/15). "Anyone else may know You—it is not possible" (10/2, 14). "Therefore You alone can narrate your total divine glories that I may be endowed with unfaltering devotion."
