Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 10: The Divine Glories

Bhagavad Gita 10.42

athavā bahunaitena kiṃ jñātena tavārjuna | viṣṭabhyāhamidaṃ kṛtsnamekāṃśena sthito jagat ||

But what use is it to you, Arjuna, to know all this in detail? I stand holding up this entire universe with a single fragment of myself.

Modern context

After the long list, Krishna sweeps it aside: what use is all this detail? I hold up this entire universe with a single fragment of myself. The whole cosmos, with all its glories, is only a small part of what the divine is. This is the largest claim in the chapter, and it prepares the ground for the next, where Arjuna will ask to see that fragment for himself.
