CHAPTER 10 An Account of God’s Glory यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा। तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसंभवम् ॥41॥ [ “Know that whatever is possessed of glory, beauty, and strength has arisen from my own splendour.’’ ] Krishn concludes his revelation of the omnipresent thus: अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन। विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥42॥ [ “Or, instead of knowing anything more, O Arjun, just remember that I am here and I bear the whole world with just a fraction of my power.’’ ] Krishn’s enumeration of his manifold glories by analogy does not imply that either Arjun or anyone of us should begin to adore the beings and objects he has cited for illustration. The exercise is rather aimed at enlightening men who are inclined to the worship of other gods and goddesses as well as of objects and creatures such as trees, rivers, planets, and serpents, that they have acquitted themselves well of their duties to all these divinities, objects, and beings by just adoring Krishn alone.
