Commentary (टीका)
This poignant verse expresses the devotee's insatiable love for hearing about God. Arjuna compares Krishna's words to amrita (nectar) — the more he hears, the more he wants. This is the nature of true divine love — it grows with every encounter rather than diminishing. The request for elaboration leads Krishna to unfold the magnificent list of His divine manifestations.
