10.01
श्रीभगवानुवाच:
भूय एव महाबाहो शृणु मे परमं वचः ।
यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया ॥
śrībhagavānuvāca:
bhūya eva mahābāho śṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ,
yatte’haṃ prīyamāṇāya vakṣyāmi hitakāmyayā.
The Blessed Lord said: Again, O mighty-armed, hearken to my supreme word, that I will speak to thee from my will for thy soul’s good, now that thy heart is taking delight in me.
10.02
न मे विदुः सुरगणाः प्रभवं न महर्षयः ।
अहमादिर्हि देवानां महर्षीणां च सर्वशः ॥
na me viduḥ suragaṇāḥ prabhavaṃ na maharṣayaḥ,
ahamādirhi devānāṃ maharṣīṇāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ.
Neither the gods nor the great Rishis know any birth of Me, for I am altogether and in every way the origin of the gods and the great Rishis.
10.03
यो मामजमनादिं च वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम् ।
असंमूढः स मर्त्येषु सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥
yo māmajamanādiṃ ca vetti lokamaheśvaram,
asaṃmūḍhaḥ sa martyeṣu sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate.
Whosoever knows Me as the Unborn, without origin, mighty Lord of the worlds and peoples, lives unbewildered among mortals and is delivered from all sin and evil.
10.04
बुद्धिर्ज्ञानमसंमोहः क्षमा सत्यं दमः शमः ।
सुखं दुःखं भवोऽभावो भयं चाभयमेव च ॥
buddhirjñānamasaṃmohaḥ kṣamā satyaṃ damaḥ śamaḥ,
sukhaṃ duḥkhaṃ bhavo’bhāvo bhayaṃ cābhayameva ca.
10.05
अहिंसा समता तुष्टिस्तपो दानं यशोऽयशः ।
भवन्ति भावा भूतानां मत्त एव पृथग्विधाः ॥
ahiṃsā samatā tuṣṭistapo dānaṃ yaśo’yaśaḥ,
bhavanti bhāvā bhūtānāṃ matta eva pṛthagvidhāḥ.
Understanding and knowledge and freedom from the bewilderment of the Ignorance, forgiveness and truth and self-government and calm of inner control, grief and pleasure, coming into being and destruction, fear and fearlessness, glory and ingloriousness, non-injuring and equality, contentment and austerity and giving, all here in their separate diversities are subjective becomings of existences, and they all proceed from Me.
10.06
महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा ।
मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः ॥
maharṣayaḥ sapta pūrve catvāro manavastathā,
madbhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣāṃ loka imāḥ prajāḥ.
The great Rishis, the seven Ancients of the world, and also the four Manus, are my mental becomings; from them are all these living creatures in the world.
10.07
एतां विभूतिं योगं च मम यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।
सोऽविकम्पेन योगेन युज्यते नात्र संशयः ॥
etāṃ vibhūtiṃ yogaṃ ca mama yo vetti tattvataḥ,
so’vikampena yogena yujyate nātra saṃśayaḥ.
Whosoever knows in its right principles this my pervading lordship and this my Yoga, unites himself to me by an untrembling Yoga; of this there is no doubt.
10.08
अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṃ pravartate,
iti matvā bhajante māṃ budhā bhāvasamanvitāḥ.
I am the birth of everything and from Me all proceeds into development of action and movement; understanding thus, the wise adore Me in rapt emotion.
10.09
मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्तः परस्परम् ।
कथयन्तश्च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च ॥
maccittā madgataprāṇā bodhayantaḥ parasparam,
kathayantaśca māṃ nityaṃ tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca.
Their consciousness full of Me, their life wholly given up to Me, illumining each other, mutually talking about Me, they are ever contented and joyful.
10.10
तेषां सततयुक्तानां भजतां प्रीतिपूर्वकम् ।
ददामि बुद्धियोगं तं येन मामुपयान्ति ते ॥
teṣāṃ satatayuktānāṃ bhajatāṃ prītipūrvakam,
dadāmi buddhiyogaṃ taṃ yena māmupayānti te.
To these who are thus in a constant union with Me, and adore Me with an intense delight of love, I give the Yoga of understanding by which they come to Me.
10.11
तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः ।
नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता ॥
teṣāmevānukampārthamahamajñānajaṃ tamaḥ,
nāśayāmyātmabhāvastho jñānadīpena bhāsvatā.
Out of compassion for them, I, lodged in their self, lift the blazing lamp of knowledge and destroy the darkness which is born of the ignorance.
10.12
अर्जुन उवाच:
परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान् ।
पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम् ॥
arjuna uvāca:
paraṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma pavitraṃ paramaṃ bhavān,
puruṣaṃ śāśvataṃ divyamādidevamajaṃ vibhum.
Arjuna said: Thou art the supreme Brahman, the supreme Abode, the supreme Purity, the one Permanent, the divine Purusha, the original Godhead, the Unborn, the all-pervading Lord.
10.13
आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा ।
असितो देवलो व्यासः स्वयं चैव ब्रवीषि मे ॥
āhustvāmṛṣayaḥ sarve devarṣirnāradastathā,
asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṃ caiva bravīṣi me.
All the Rishis say this of Thee and the divine seer Narada, Asita, Devala, Vyasa; and Thou Thyself sayest it to me.
10.14
सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव ।
न हि ते भगवन्व्यक्तिं विदुर्देवा न दानवाः ॥
sarvametadṛtaṃ manye yanmāṃ vadasi keśava,
na hi te bhagavanvyaktiṃ vidurdevā na dānavāḥ.
All this that Thou sayest, my mind holds for the truth, O Keshava. Neither the Gods nor the Titans, O blessed Lord, know Thy manifestation.
10.15
स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम ।
भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते ॥
svayamevātmanātmānaṃ vettha tvaṃ puruṣottama,
bhūtabhāvana bhūteśa devadeva jagatpate.
Thou alone knowest Thyself by Thyself, O Purushottama: Source of beings, Lord of beings, God of gods, Master of the world!
10.16
वक्तुमर्हस्यशेषेण दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः ।
याभिर्विभूतिभिर्लोकानिमांस्त्वं व्याप्य तिष्ठसि ॥
vaktumarhasyaśeṣeṇa divyā hyātmavibhūtayaḥ,
yābhirvibhūtibhirlokānimāṃstvaṃ vyāpya tiṣṭhasi.
Thou shouldst tell me of Thy divine self-manifestations, all without exception. Thy Vibhutis by which Thou standest pervading these worlds.
10.17
कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन् ।
केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया ॥
kathaṃ vidyāmahaṃ yogiṃstvāṃ sadā paricintayan,
keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu cintyo’si bhagavanmayā.
How shall I know Thee, O Yogin, by thinking of Thee everywhere at all moments and in what pre-eminent becomings should I think of Thee, O Blessed Lord?
10.18
विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन ।
भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि शृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् ॥
vistareṇātmano yogaṃ vibhūtiṃ ca janārdana,
bhūyaḥ kathaya tṛptirhi śṛṇvato nāsti me’mṛtam.
In detail tell me of Thy Yoga and Vibhuti, O Janardana; and tell me ever more of it; it is nectar of immortality to me, and however much of it I hear, I am not satiated.
10.19
श्रीभगवानुवाच:
हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः ।
प्राधान्यतः कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे ॥
śrībhagavānuvāca:
hanta te kathayiṣyāmi divyā hyātmavibhūtayaḥ,
prādhānyataḥ kuruśreṣṭha nāstyanto vistarasya me.
The Blessed Lord said: Yes, I will tell thee of my divine Vibhutis, but only in some of My principal pre-eminences, O best of the Kurus; for there is no end to the detail of My self-extension in the universe.
10.20
अहमात्मा गुडाकेश सर्वभूताशयस्थितः ।
अहमादिश्च मध्यं च भूतानामन्त एव च ॥
ahamātmā guḍākeśa sarvabhūtāśayasthitaḥ,
ahamādiśca madhyaṃ ca bhūtānāmanta eva ca.
I, O Gudakesha, am the Self, which abides within all beings. I am the beginning and middle and end of all beings.

मरीचिर्मरुतामस्मि नक्षत्राणामहं शशी ॥

viṣṭabhyāhamidaṃ kṛtsnamekāṃśena sthito jagat.
But what need is there of a multitude of details for this knowledge, O Arjuna? Take it thus, that I am here in this world and everywhere. I support this entire universe with an infinitesimal portion of Myself.
