Vistaren&tmano yogam vibhūtim ca Janārdana
Bhūyah kathaya trptir-hi srnvato nāsti me(d)mrtam

18. Speak to tnc again, in detail, O Janārdana, of Thy yoga and glory; for, there is no satiety for me in hearing the nectar (of Thy speech).

Speak to me, again, though stated previously, in detail, of Thy yoga, Thy mysterious sovereign power, and glory, the detailed particulars about the objects of contemplation. O Janārdana,-

the Lord is so called because he causes Asuras, the people ("jana") who are inimical to the gods, to go to hell and similar places (-from the root "ard ", signifying "moving"); or because he is prayed to ("ard" also means begging) by all people ("jana") for the grant of the ends of life, namely prosperity and liberation. For, there is no satiety, contentment, for me, in hearing the nectar, the speech (which is like nectar) that flows from Thy mouth.
