Meaning

“Arjuna said: You are the supreme Brahman, the supreme abode, the supreme purifier, the eternal divine Spirit, the primal God, unborn and all-pervading. Thus all the sages declare You, the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, Vyasa, and You Yourself declare it to me. All this I hold true that You tell me, O Keshava; neither the gods nor the demons know Your manifestation, O Lord. You Yourself know Yourself by Yourself, O Supreme Person, source of beings, Lord of beings, God of gods, Ruler of the world.”
