अथवा बहुनैतेन किम् ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन ।
विष्टभ्याहम् इदम् कृत्स्नम् एकाम्शेन स्थितो जगत् ॥ ४२ ॥

अर्जुन [arjuna] Arjuna, किम् [kim] what’s बहुना [bahunA] further elaboration एतेन ज्ञानेन [etena jJAnena] of this knowledge तव [tava] to you? अहम् [aham] I विष्टभ्य [viSTabhya] support and control इदम् [idam] this कृत्स्नम् जगत् [kRtsnam jagat] entire universe, एकाम्शेन स्थितः [ekAmzena sthitaH] which is situated in one part of My being.

What’s the need to elaborate this knowledge I speak about? With a miniscule portion of My unbounded control, I pervade everything. Accordingly, the entire universe does not step outside My will - including everything in it, conscious and non-conscious.

I pervade them in every state - in the state of being a raw material or a finished product, being perceptible or imperceptible, in all their different forms, in steadfastness and in action to change.

As stated in विश्णु पुराण [vizNu purANa] , 1-9-53 by Parashara: One characteristic of the Lord is the ability to control without boundaries. One part of this unbounded control - the part is also unbounded - has the ability to pervade and control the entire universe inside it.
