Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
श्रीभगवान बोले — हे कुरुश्रेष्ठ! अच्छा, अब मैं तुम्हें अपनी प्रमुख दिव्य विभूतियों का वर्णन करूँगा; क्योंकि मेरे विस्तार का कोई अन्त नहीं है।
English Translation
The Supreme Lord said: Yes, I shall describe to you My divine glories, but only the principal ones, O best of the Kurus, for there is no end to My extent.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna agrees to Arjuna's request but qualifies it — He will share only the principal (pradhanyatah) manifestations, since His glories are infinite and endless. The word 'hanta' conveys both willingness and affection. This practical approach makes infinite knowledge accessible by highlighting the most important examples through which the Divine can be recognized.
