सर्गाणाम् आदिरन्तः च मध्यम् चैवाहम् अर्जुन ।
अध्यात्म विद्या विद्यानाम् वादः प्रवदताम् अहम् ॥ ३२ ॥

अर्जुन [arjuna] Arjuna, सर्गाणाम् [sargANAm] all creations अहम् आदिः [aham AdiH] have Me as the beginning, अन्तः [antaH] the end मध्यम् च [madhyam ca] and everything in-between. विद्यानाम् [vidyAnAm] In all knowledge, अध्यात्म विद्या [adhyAtma vidyA] I am the fundamental knowledge about the Self, its relation to the Universe and the Lord. प्रवदताम् [pravadatAm] Among people who debate, वादः [vAdaH] I am the point that closes the argument.
The beginning of everything that’s created is the cause that created them. At all times, at all places, I alone am the cause of all kinds of creation. In the same way, destruction too - at all times, the one who terminates the existence of everything is also Me. Sustenance happens in-between creation and destruction. I am the sustainer. All of this happens according to My will.
Among people who indulge in debates and arguments, I am the point that closes the argument.
