Know Me to be the eternal seed of all beings, O Partha. I am the intelligence of the intelligent and the splendor of the splendid.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna declares Himself the primordial seed from which all life springs. He manifests as the highest expression within each category — the intelligence that distinguishes the wise and the radiance that defines the brilliant. This teaches that all exceptional qualities ultimately derive from the Divine.
