Chapter 10 • Verse 13 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Ahus tvam rishayah sarve devarshir naradas tatha, asito devalo vyasah svayam caiva bravishi me

All the sages, as well as the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa, proclaim You as the Supreme, and now You Yourself are telling me the same. Arjuna validates Krishna's divine nature by pointing to the unanimous testimony of great sages — a convergence of inner experience and outer authority.

  • •Great sages unanimously testify to the supreme nature of God
  • •Both scripture and direct revelation confirm the Lord's supremacy
  • •Validation from multiple sources of wisdom strengthens genuine faith

Chapter 10 • Verse 37 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Vrishninam vasudevo 'smi pandavanam dhanam-jayah, muninam apy aham vyasah kavinam ushana kavih

Among the Vrishnis I am Vasudeva (Krishna Himself); among the Pandavas I am Dhananjaya (Arjuna); among the sages I am Vyasa; and among the great thinkers I am Ushana (Shukracharya). Krishna identifies Himself directly as Vasudeva — this self-referential vibhuti highlights that He is both the teacher and the ultimate subject of His own teaching.

  • •The Lord's greatest vibhuti among humans is Himself — the supreme among all
  • •Arjuna represents the highest human aspiration toward God
  • •Vyasa, compiler of the Vedas, embodies divine wisdom channeled through a human vessel
