TEXT 40
- नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परन्तप ।
- एष तूद्देशतः प्रोक्तो विभूतेर्विस्तरो मया ॥४०॥
- nānto 'sti mama divyānāṁ
- vibhūtīnāṁ parantapa
- eṣa tūddeśataḥ prokto
- vibhūter vistaro mayā
nanor — nor; antaḥa limit — a limit; astithere is — there is; mamaMy — My; divyānāmof the divine — of the divine; vibhūtīnāmopulences — opulences; parantapaO conqueror of the enemies — O conqueror of the enemies; eṣaḥall this — all this; tubut — but; uddeśataḥas examples — as examples; proktaḥspoken — spoken; vibhūteḥof opulences — of opulences; vistaraḥthe expanse — the expanse; mayāby Me — by Me.
O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.
As stated in the Vedic literature, although the opulences and energies of the Supreme are understood in various ways, there is no limit to such opulences; therefore not all the opulences and energies can be explained. Simply a few examples are being described to Arjuna to pacify his inquisitiveness.
