The Yoga of Divine Glories

Arjuna acknowledges Krishna's supreme position with profound recognition. 'Paraṁ brahma'—You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate reality. 'Paraṁ dhāma'—the ultimate abode, the refuge of all. 'Pavitraṁ paramaṁ'—the purest, the most sacred. 'Puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ'—the eternal person, beyond time. 'Divyam'—transcendental, divine. 'Ādi-devam'—the original god, the first deity. 'Ajaṁ'—unborn, without beginning. 'Vibhum'—the greatest, all-pervading. This is Arjuna's full acknowledgment: after hearing Krishna's teachings about being the source of all, Arjuna recognizes Him as the Supreme. This isn't just intellectual understanding—it's heartfelt recognition. Arjuna sees Krishna not just as his friend or charioteer, but as the Supreme Reality itself.
