Explicación

If neither gods nor demons can know Krishna, who can? Arjuna answers: only Krishna himself, knowing himself by himself. The verse is full of titles, each pointing to a different relation: supreme person (puruṣottama), the one who brings beings into existence, their ruler, the god above gods, and the lord of the universe. The string of names expresses wonder more than doctrine. It also carries a logical step: if self-knowledge belongs to Krishna alone, then the only way Arjuna can learn of him is for Krishna to speak. That is what Arjuna is about to ask.
