Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10, Verse 38
दण्डो दमयतामस्मि नीतिरस्मि जिगीषताम् | मौनं चैवास्मि गुह्यानां ज्ञानं ज्ञानवतामहम् ||
daṇḍo damayatām asmi nītir asmi jigīṣatām maunaṁ caivāsmi guhyānāṁ jñānaṁ jñānavatām aham
Among those who wield power, I am the scepter; among those who seek victory, I am strategy; among secrets, I am silence; and among the wise, I am wisdom.
Krishna continues enumerating manifestations in power, strategy, silence, and wisdom. 'Daṇḍo damayatām asmi'—among those who wield power, I am the scepter. The scepter represents the power to maintain order. 'Nītir asmi jigīṣatām'—among those who seek victory, I am strategy. Strategy is what leads to victory. 'Maunaṁ caivāsmi guhyānām'—among secrets, I am silence. Silence is the best way to keep secrets. 'Jñānaṁ jñānavatām aham'—among the wise, I am wisdom. Wisdom is the highest knowledge. This verse shows Krishna as the source of power (scepter), victory (strategy), secrecy (silence), and wisdom.
