Uitleg

Krishna calls himself the eternal seed of all beings. He is the intelligence of the intelligent and the splendour of the splendid. The image of the seed is significant: a seed contains in hidden form all that later grows from it, and it does not perish when the plant appears. The verse suggests that every being carries within it the presence of its source. Naming intelligence and splendour also touches qualities that Arjuna, as a gifted and honoured warrior, would recognize in himself.
