Explanation

Krishna returns to what he said before the list began: his glories have no end. Everything named so far is only uddeśataḥ, by way of indication, a few examples pointing to an inexhaustible whole. This reminds Arjuna that the list was never meant to be complete. Its purpose was to train the eye, so that he could go on recognising the divine in things Krishna did not mention. The verse gently answers Arjuna's request to be told everything without omission: what cannot be counted can only be hinted at, and the rest must be seen.
