Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-4 Jñāna Vibhāga Yogaḥ

śrī-bhagavān uvāca bahūni me vyatītāni janmāni tava cārjuna | tānyahaṃ veda sarvāṇi na tvaṃ vettha parantapa || 5 || The Blessed Lord said: 5. Many births of Mine have passed, O Arjuna, and so is it with you also. I know them all, but you do not know them. Commentary By this, the reality of the Lord's birth is confirmed — 'Many births of Mine have passed' — then is added the statement; 'so is it with you' to illustrate that the nature of both births are equally real.
