भगवद् गीता अध्याय 11 श्लोक 37

कस्माच्च ते न नमेरन्महात्मन्

English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
11.37 And why should they not bow down to You, O exalted [i.e. not narrow-minded.] One, who are greater (than all) and who are the first Creator even of Brahma! O infinite One, supreme God, Abode of the Universe, You are the Immutable,being and non-being, (and) that which is Transcendental.


English Translation - Swami Sivananda
11.37 And why should they not, O great Soul, bow to Thee Who art greater (than all else), the primal cause even of the Creator (Brahma), O Infinite Being, O Lord of the gods, O Abode of the universe; Thou art the imperishable, the Being, the non-being and That which is the supreme (that which is beyond the Being and the non-being).


English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
11.37. O Mighty One !  Why should they not bow down to You, the Primal Creater, Who are greater than even Brahma (personal god) ?  O Endless One, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the universe !  You are unalterable, existent, non-existent and also that which is beyond both.
