Chapter 10 • Verse 40
The Yoga of Divine Glories
MEANING & CONTEXT
Krishna acknowledges that His manifestations are infinite and cannot be fully enumerated. 'Nānto 'sti mama divyānāṁ vibhūtīnāṁ parantapa'—there is no end to My divine manifestations, O Arjuna. The manifestations are infinite—there is no limit. 'Eṣa tūddeśataḥ prokto vibhūter vistaro mayā'—what I have spoken is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences. What Krishna has enumerated is just a tiny sample—an indication of the infinite. This verse shows that Krishna's manifestations are infinite, and what has been described is only a glimpse of the infinite opulences.

Key Takeaway
This verse reveals that there is no end to Krishna's divine manifestations, and what has been spoken is just a mere indication of the infinite. When you recognize the infinite nature of the source, you see differently. You don't see the source as limited to what has been described—you recognize that the source is infinite, and what has been described is just a tiny glimpse. The question isn't whether you've heard all manifestations—it's whether you recognize the infinite nature of the source. When you recognize the infinite nature of the source, you see that what has been described is just an indication.
Personal Reflection
Where are you recognizing the infinite nature of the source? Do you see that what has been described is just an indication? How does recognizing the infinite nature of the source change how you see the source?
