Translations
All the sages have thus declared Thee, as also the divine sage Narada; so also Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and now Thou Thyself dost say so to me.
So have said the seers, the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and Thou Thyself also sayest it.
Arjuna said, "You are the supreme Brahman, the supreme Light, the supreme Sanctifier. All the sages, as well as the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa [Although Narada and the other sages are already mentioned by the words 'all the sages', they are still named separately due to their eminence. Asita is the father of Devala.] call You the eternal divine Person, the Primal God, the Birthless, the Omnipresent; and You Yourself indeed tell me this."
।।10.12 -- 10.13।। अर्जुन बोले -- परम ब्रह्म, परम धाम और महान् पवित्र आप ही हैं। आप शाश्वत, दिव्य पुरुष, आदिदेव, अजन्मा और विभु (व्यापक) हैं -- ऐसा सब-के-सब ऋषि, देवर्षि नारद, असित, देवल तथा व्यास कहते हैं और स्वयं आप भी मेरे प्रति कहते हैं।Commentary
