Chapter 11: Viśvarūpa-darśana-yoga:: Verse 37
कस्माच्च ते न नमेरन्महात्मन्
गरीयसे ब्रह्मणोऽप्यादिकर्त्रे ।
अनन्त देवेश जगन्निवास
त्वमक्षरं सदसत्तत्परं यत् ॥
kasmāc-ca te na nameran-mahātman
garīyase brahmaṇo’pyādi-kartre
ananta deveśa jagan-nivāsa
tvam-akṣaraṃ sad-asat-tat-paraṃ yat – 11.37
O Mahātman, why should they not prostrate before You, as You are greater than even Brahmā (the Creator). You are the primordial Cause of all! O Infinite, the Lord of Devas, Abode of the Universe, You are the Imperishable, the Principle of existence and non-existence, as well as the Absolute that transcends both!

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Now Arjuna seems to understand all that Krishna said earlier about the greatness and glories of the Self. There is no source for anything other than the Self in each body. Krishna is great and adorable to all because he has realized this Truth and displays it in its entirety.
Arjuna’s words portraying Krishna’s (the Self’s) grandeur are greatly suggestive. Raising Krishna to the supreme level, Arjuna argues: How could anybody avoid respecting such a one, the Source of all!
