।।10.1।।श्रीभगवान् बोले -- हे महाबाहो अर्जुन मेरे परम वचनको तुम फिर सुनो? जिसे मैं तुम्हारे हितकी कामनासे कहूँगा क्योंकि तुम मेरेमें अत्यन्त प्रेम रखते हो।
The science of bhakti or loving devotion with its requirements was revealed by Lord Krishna in chapter nine. In order to nourish and engender such loving devotion and increase it, Lord Krishna undertakes with compassion to discourse further and expatiate on the subject of the infinity of infinite glories of the Supreme Lord, such as unrivalled sovereignty, indomitable will, inviolable power, unparalleled compassion, paramatma or the Supreme soul within all sentient beings and all creation comprising His transcendental form. Lord Krishna speaks the words te priyamanaya which can mean one who possesses divine love or one who is a beloved confidant. Because Arjuna became delighted by listening to the glories of the Supreme Lord to further increase his joy and to fan his ardour for loving devotion Lord Krishna once again reveals revelatory information regarding the sublime glories and incomparable attributes of the Supreme Lord. This He does desiring Arjunas highest good and ultimate benefit.
