Explicación

Before giving any examples from the outer world, Krishna names the most inward one. He is the self (ātman) seated in the heart of every being, and he is their beginning, middle and end. This frames the whole list that follows. The glories about to be named are outward signs, but their ground is the presence within each creature and the span of its whole existence. The epithet Gudakesha, often explained as one who has mastered sleep, suits a listener asked to stay alert. The verse tells Arjuna to look first within, and then outward.
