Chapter 10
Link:- Having answered Arjuna's question, in the next verse, the Lord Himself reveals an important fact.
athava bahunaitena kim jnatena tavarjuna
vistabhyahamidam krtsnamekamsena sthito jagat
Or what need is there, for you 0 Arjuna, of detailed knowledge? I stand supporting the entire universe, with a single fragment, of Myself. 42
Comment:-
Athava:- This term suggests something different, from what has been stated already. By this term, the Lord means to say, that He has already answered the question. Now, He wants to tell him something remarkable, of His own accord
Bahunaitena kim jantena tavnrjuna:- Lord Krsna says, "0 brother Arjuna! What need is there, to know all this in detail? Though I am sitting before you as a chariot-driver, with the horses' bridle and a whip, in My hands, to carry out your order, yet I hold countless universes, in both the states of new creation and final dissolution, in a fragment of My body.'
Vistabhynhamidadr krtsnamekamsena sthito jagat:-The Lord, means to say, that He stands holding the countless universes, in a fragment of His body, through His Yogic power. But it does not mean that, that fragment is occupied by countless universes, and so that fragment is not empty. That fragment is still empty. As, with our intellect, we know several languages, scripts and art etc., but it does not mean, that there is no more room in it, to know more languages and scripts etc. We can learn, several other languages, scripts and arts etc., with it. When even our intellect, a small fragment of matter, is not filled with the knowledge, of different languages etc., how can a fragment of the Lord, Who is transcendental, endless, limitless and bottomless, be filled with, countless universes?
