OM
10.
Yoga of Divine Glories
1)
SRI KRISHNA:
Again, O mighty armed (Arjuna –
Mahabaho), listen to My supreme word; which I wishing your welfare, will
declare to you, who delight in hearing Me.
2)
Neither the hosts of heaven, nor great Rishis
know My origin; for, in every way, I am the source of all Devas and the Rishis
3)
He who amongst the mortals, know Me, as unborn
and beginning-less, as the great Lord of the worlds, is undeluded and is
liberated from all sins.
4)
Intellect, wisdom, non-delusion, forgiveness, truth,
self-restraint, calmness, happiness, pain, birth, or death, fear and also
fearlessness,
5)
Non-injury, equanimity, contentment, austerity,
beneficence, fame, infamy – all these different kinds of ‘quality of beings’
arise from Me alone.
6)
The seven great Rishis, the ancient four and
also the Manus, possessed of powers like Me, were born of (My) mind; from them
are these creatures in the world (originated and sustained)
7)
He, who in truth knows the manifold
manifestations of My being (Macrocosm) and (this) Yoga – power of Mine
(Microcosm), becomes established in the ‘tremorless-Yoga’; there is no doubt
about it.
8)
I am the source of all; from Me everything
evolves; understanding thus, the ‘wise’ endowed with ‘loving consciousness’
worship Me.
9)
With their minds wholly resting in Me, with
their senses absorbed in Me, enlightening one another, and ever speaking of Me,
they are satisfied and delighted.
10)
To the ever steadfast, worshipping Me with love,
I give the Buddhi yoga, by which they come to Me.
11)
Out of mere compassion for them, I dwelling
within their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance by luminous
Lamp-of-knowledge.
12)
ARJUNA:
You are the supreme Brahman, the
Supreme abode, the Supreme purifier, Eternal, Divine Purusha, the God of all
gods, Unborn, Omnipresent.
13)
All the Rishis have thus declared You, as also
Deva-Rishi Narada, so also, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; And now the same, You
Yourself say to me.
14)
I believe all this that you say to me as true, O
Keshava (Sri Krishna); verily, O Blessed Lord (Sri Krishna), neither the Devas
nor the Danavas know Your manifestation (identity).
15)
Verily, You Yourself know Yourself by Yourself,
O Purushottama (Sri Krishna – supreme Purusha), O Source of beings, O Lord of
beings, O God of gods, O Ruler of the world.
16)
You should indeed, without reserve, tell me of
Your Divine glories by which You exist pervading all these worlds.
17)
How shall I, ever-meditating, know You, O Yogin
(Sri Krishan)?In what aspect of things, O Blessed Lord (Sri Krishna) are You to
be thought of by Me?
18)
Tell me again in detail, O Janardana (Sri
Krishna), of Your Yoga-Power and Immanent glory; for I do not feel satisfied by
hearing your (life-giving and so) nectar-like speech.
19)
SRI KRISHNA:
Alas! Now I will declare to you,
My Divine glories, immanent, in their prominence; O best of Kurus (Arjuna),
there is no end to the details of My extent.
20)
I am the Self, O Gudakesha (Arjuna), seated in
the hearts of all beings; I am the Beginning, the Middle and also the End of

and also the end, O Arjuna; among sciences I am the Science of the Self and I
am the logic in all arguments.
33)
Among letters I am the letter ‘A’; among all
compounds I am the dual (co-ordinates); I am verily the inexhaustible, or the
everlasting time; I am the (All-faced) dispenser (of fruits-of-actions) having
faces in all directions.
34)
And I am all-devouring Death, and the prosperity
of those who are to be prosperous; among feminine qualities, (I am) fame,

35)
Among hymns also I am the ‘Brihat-Saman’; among
meters ‘Gayatri’ am I; among months I am parts of December-January (Marga-Shirsha);
among seasons I am the ‘flowery-spring’.
36)
I am the gambling of the fraudulent; I am the

aredetermined); I am the goodness in the good.

And whatsoever is the seed of all beings, that
also am I, O Arjuna; there is no being, whether moving, or unmoving, that can
exist without Me.
40)
There is no end to My Divine Glories, O
Parantapa (Arjuna) but, this is but a brief statement by Me of the particulars
of My Divine Glories.
41)
Whatever it is that is glorious, prosperous or
powerful in any being, know that to be a manifestation of a part of My
splendor.
42)
But, of what avail to thee is the knowledge of
all these details, O Arjuna? I exist, supporting this whole world by one part
of Myself.
Thus ends the 10th chapter of Bhagavad Gita.
