Spiegazione

Arjuna gathers more titles: the first god, the ancient person, the ultimate resting place of the world. Then he says something subtle: Krishna is both the knower and what is to be known. The divine is not only the object of Arjuna's vision but also the awareness that sees. He is also the highest dwelling and the one by whom the universe is spread out. Several of these phrases repeat what Arjuna said earlier in the hymn and what Krishna taught in earlier chapters, as if Arjuna is now confirming the teaching from his own experience.
