यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा ।तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसंभवम् ॥
yadyadvibhūtimatsattvaṃ śrīmadūrjitameva vā |tattadevāvagaccha tvaṃ mama tejoṃ'śasaṃbhavam ||
Whatever is glorious, beautiful or mighty, know that it has come from just a spark of my splendour.
जो कुछ भी तेजस्वी, सुंदर या शक्तिशाली है, उसे मेरे तेज के एक अंश से उत्पन्न हुआ जानो।
जे जे वैभवयुक्त, शोभायमान किंवा सामर्थ्यवान आहे, ते माझ्या तेजाच्या अंशातूनच निर्माण झाले आहे असे जाण.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा ।तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसंभवम् ॥
नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परन्तप ।
There is no end to my divine glories, Arjuna. What I have told you is only a small sample of their vast extent.
10.42अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन ।
But what need is there for you to know all this in detail, Arjuna? I stand holding up this entire universe with a single part of myself.
