Arjuna said: You are the supreme Brahma, the supreme light, and the supreme purifier. You are the eternal divine spirit, the magnificent, unborn, original God, proclaimed as such by the divine sages Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa, in all the glory you yourself have describe. I believe in what you have said, Krishna, for neither the gods nor the demons can comprehend your manifestation. Supreme person, creator of all beings, lord of all beings, God of Gods, ruler of the universe - you are the only one who knows yourself. Please tell me of all your divine manifestations, through which you pervade these worlds. How can I come to know you by constantly meditating on you? And in what way should I meditate upon you? Tell me again of your powers and glories, for I have not been satiated in hearing your ambrosial words.
