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.
