Explanation

The list from the previous verse closes here with non-violence (ahiṃsā), evenness, contentment, austerity (tapas), generosity, and both fame and disgrace. Then comes the statement that ties it together: all these different states of beings come from Krishna alone. The word bhāva means a state or disposition of mind. The point is not that Krishna wills each person's fear or disgrace, but that the very capacity for any inner state depends on him. Arjuna, who has felt fear and dread of infamy, hears that even these lie within the divine order.
