I am the punishment of the punishers and the wisdom of those who seek victory. Of secrets, I am the silence. Of the wise, I am the wisdom. I am the seed of all beings. No creature, moving or unmoving, can exist without me. There is no limit to my divine manifestations - these are only a few examples. Whatever is glorious, prosperous, and energetic, know that it comes from a fragment of my splendor. But what is the use of all these details to you, Arjuna? I sustain this universe with only a small part of myself.
