Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga: Verse 40
नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परंतप ।
एष तूद्देशत:प्रोक्तो विभूतेर्विस्तरो मया ॥
nānto’sti mama divyānāṃ vibhūtīnāṃ parantapa
eṣa tūddeśata: prokto vibhūter-vistaro mayā – 10.40
O scorcher of enemies (Arjuna), there is no end to My divine glories. Whatever is described by Me is but a brief rendering of the extensive glories the Self hosts in Itself.
Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga - Verse 40
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
The creation appears to be endless before the senses in the body. If the eyes reveal such endlessness, how much greater will be what the inner mind and intelligence hold in themselves! Yes, the inner splendour the Self, the Supreme, can design and display is infinitely more!
Whatever is mentioned, says Krishna, is only a very brief account of the detailed infinite grandeur the Self possesses. Needless to say, whatever Krishna speaks about his Self and its grandeur is true of all others and their Self, a point Krishna has been emphasizing all along. The statements and confirmations given in 2.12, 4.10, 14.2, clearly affirm that whatever glory or potential Krishna discusses, is of the Self in all. Bhagavad Gita makes a universal handbook on life, only because whatever Krishna speaks is about the inner Self, the supreme Sentience in one and all.
