TRANSLATION

 

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.

 

PURPORT

 

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.
