श्री भगवान् उवाच -
भूय एव महाबाहो शृणु मे परमम् वचः ।
यत् ते अहम् प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हित काम्यया ॥ १ ॥

zrI bhagavAn uvAca -
bhUya eva mahAbAho zRNu me paramam vacaH |
yat te aham prIyamANAya vakSyAmi hita kAmyayA || 1 ||

श्री भगवान् उवाच [zrI bhagavAn uvAca] Lord Krishna said - महाबाहो [mahAbAho] Arjuna, शृणु [zRNu] listen मे परमम् वचः [me paramam vacaH] to the greatest among My instructions, यत् अहम् वक्ष्यामि ते [yat aham vakSyAmi te] which I will tell you भूय एव [bhUya eva] once again. प्रीयमाणाय [prIyamANAya] I’ll do this for you as a friend हित काम्यया [hita kAmyayA] wishing your well-being.

The Lord said to Arjuna - ‘After listening to My greatness, you have developed abundant love for Me. I wish your well-being- I shall initiate and expand My devotion within you. For this, I will now tell you the greatest teaching yet again, dealing with the vast expanse of My greatness itself. Listen to that with an attentive mind.
