वक्तुम् अर्हसि अशेषेण दिव्या ह्यात्म विभूतयः ।
याभिः विभूतिभिः लोकान् इमाम् त्वम् व्याप्य तिष्ठसि ॥ १६ ॥
vaktum arhasi azeSeNa divyA hyAtma vibhUtayaH |
yAbhiH vibhUtibhiH lokAn imAm tvam vyApya tiSThasi || 16 ||
वक्तुम् अर्हसि [vaktum arhasi] You must now describe to me आत्म विभूतयः [Atma vibhUtayaH] Your expanse of power अशेषेण [azeSeNa] entirely. दिव्या हि [divyA hi] Your powers are indeed divine. याभिः विभूतिभिः [yAbhiH vibhUtibhiH] With these supreme powers, त्वम् तिष्ठसि [tvam tiSThasi] You stay व्याप्य [vyApya] pervading लोकान् इमाम् [lokAn imAm] these worlds.
Arjuna tells Krishna - ‘You alone can describe those characteristics that are unique to You - only You can grasp those characteristics. With this infinite power and character, You are pervasive and stay as the controller of this universe’.
