श्रीभगवानुवाच॥
The Blessed Lord spoke:
भूय एव महाबाहो शृणु मे परमं वचः। यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया ॥६-३२-१॥
"O mighty-armed one, listen once more to my supreme words, which I shall speak to you out of a desire for your welfare."
न मे विदुः सुरगणाः प्रभवं न महर्षयः। अहमादिर्हि देवानां महर्षीणां च सर्वशः ॥६-३२-२॥
The demigods and the great sages do not know my origin, for I am the source of all the demigods and sages in every way.
यो मामजमनादिं च वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम्। असंमूढः स मर्त्येषु सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥६-३२-३॥
One who understands me as the eternal, unborn, and the supreme lord of all worlds, is wise among humans and is freed from all sins.
बुद्धिर्ज्ञानमसंमोहः क्षमा सत्यं दमः शमः। सुखं दुःखं भवोऽभावो भयं चाभयमेव च ॥६-३२-४॥
Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from delusion, forgiveness, truth, self-restraint, calmness, happiness, sorrow, existence, non-existence, fear, and fearlessness are all qualities that define the human experience.
अहिंसा समता तुष्टिस्तपो दानं यशोऽयशः। भवन्ति भावा भूतानां मत्त एव पृथग्विधाः ॥६-३२-५॥
Non-violence, equanimity, contentment, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy are various states of beings that originate from me alone.
महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा। मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः ॥६-३२-६॥
The seven great sages and the four ancient Manus, who are born of My nature and mind, are the origin of all living beings in this world.
एतां विभूतिं योगं च मम यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः। सोऽविकम्पेन योगेन युज्यते नात्र संशयः ॥६-३२-७॥
There is no doubt that he who truly understands my glory and yoga is united with unwavering yoga.
अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते। इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥६-३२-८॥
I am the source of everything; everything proceeds from me. Understanding this, the wise, endowed with devotion, worship me.
मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्तः परस्परम्। कथयन्तश्च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च ॥६-३२-९॥
Those who have their minds and lives dedicated to Me, who enlighten each other and always speak of Me, find satisfaction and joy.
तेषां सततयुक्तानां भजतां प्रीतिपूर्वकम्। ददामि बुद्धियोगं तं येन मामुपयान्ति ते ॥६-३२-१०॥
For those who are constantly devoted and worship with love, I provide the wisdom to reach Me.
तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः। नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता ॥६-३२-११॥
Out of compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, dispel the darkness born of ignorance with the radiant light of knowledge.

Arjuna said:
परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान्। पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम् ॥६-३२-१२॥
You are the ultimate reality, the supreme abode, the purest of the pure, the supreme being. You are the eternal, divine person, the original god, unborn and all-pervading.
आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा। असितो देवलो व्यासः स्वयं चैव ब्रवीषि मे ॥६-३२-१३॥
All the sages, including the divine sage Nārada, Asita, Devala, and Vyāsa, affirm your divinity, and you yourself have declared it to me.
सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव। न हि ते भगवन्व्यक्तिं विदुर्देवा न दानवाः ॥६-३२-१४॥
I believe everything you say to me, O Keśava, is true. Neither the gods nor the demons comprehend your divine manifestation, O Lord.
स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम। भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते ॥६-३२-१५॥
O Supreme Person, you know yourself by your own self. You are the creator and lord of all beings, the god of gods, and the lord of the universe.
वक्तुमर्हस्यशेषेण दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः। याभिर्विभूतिभिर्लोकानिमांस्त्वं व्याप्य तिष्ठसि ॥६-३२-१६॥
You should fully describe your divine glories, by which you pervade and sustain all these worlds.
कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन्। केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया ॥६-३२-१७॥
How should I, always contemplating, know you, O Yogi? In which states of being should you be thought of by me, O Lord?
विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन। भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि शृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् ॥६-३२-१८॥
O Janardana, please describe once more in detail the yoga and your divine glories, for I am never satiated in hearing your nectar-like words.
श्रीभगवानुवाच॥

हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः। प्राधान्यतः कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे ॥६-३२-१९॥
"Behold, O best of the Kurus, I shall tell you of my divine opulences, for there is no end to their extent."
