हे केशव! जो कुछ आप मुझसे कहते हैं, उस सबको मैं सत्य मानता हूँ। हे भगवान! आपके स्वरूप को न देवता जानते हैं, न दानव।
English Translation
O Keshava, I accept as true all that You tell me. Indeed, O Lord, neither the gods nor the demons know Your manifestation.
Commentary (टीका)
Arjuna expresses complete faith in Krishna's words. He acknowledges that even gods and demons cannot fully comprehend Krishna's nature. This verse shows the ideal attitude of a disciple — accepting the teacher's words with conviction while understanding that the Divine transcends all finite comprehension. It is faith born of wisdom, not ignorance.
