अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन । विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥ ४२ ॥
atha vā bahunaitena kiṁ jñātena tavārjuna viṣhṭabhyāham idaṁ kṛitsnam ekānśhena sthito jagat
Translation
But what need is there for you to know all this in detail, Arjun? I stand, supporting this entire universe with a single fraction of myself.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
अथवा हे अर्जुन! इस बहुत जानने से तेरा क्या प्रयोजन है? मैं इस संपूर्ण जगत को अपनी योगशक्ति के एक अंश मात्र से धारण करके स्थित हूँ।
Commentary
A breathtaking close: the entire universe, with all its wonders, is sustained by just one fraction (ekāṁśhena) of God. This sets the stage for chapter 11, where Arjun asks to see that cosmic form with his own eyes.
