Translations
There is no end to My divine glories, O Arjuna, but this is a brief statement by Me of the particulars of My divine glory.
O Arjuna! The aspects of My divine life are endless; I have mentioned only a few as an example.
O destroyer of enemies, there is no limit to My divine manifestations. This description of My manifestations, however, has been stated by Me as an illustration.
हे परंतप अर्जुन ! मेरी दिव्य विभूतियोंका अन्त नहीं है। मैंने तुम्हारे सामने अपनी विभूतियोंका जो विस्तार कहा है, यह तो केवल संक्षेपसे कहा है।Commentary
It is impossible for anyone to describe or know the exact extent of the divine gloreis of the Lord. There is no limit to His powers or glories. What could be expressed of Him is nothing when compared to His infinte glories. Parantapa Scorcher of foes -- he who burns the internal enemies, lust, anger, greed, deluion, etc.
