Vibhuti Yogah

(MODE[1] OF DIVINE GLORY)

In the seventh chapter, as also in the ninth, the essential nature (tattva) of the Lord and His glories have been elucidated. Now, then, it is necessary to set out (in further detail) whatever are the objects in which the Lord is capable of being (easily) thought of; (i.e. the objects in which the Lord's glory appear to be pro­ nouncedly manifest;) it is also necessary to describe (again) the essential nature of the Lord, although it has been mentioned already, because it is difficult to understand (without elaborate description). With this view, therefore,

Śri Bhagavān-uvāca—
Bhūya eva mahā-bāho śrnii me paramam vacah
Yatte(a)h I am pnyamānāya vaksyāmi luta-kāmyayā

The Blessed Lord said-

Again, O mighty-armed, do you listen to My supreme word, which, I, wishing your welfare, will tell you who are delighted (to hear Me).
