Thou art the Father of this world, moving and unmoving. Thou art to be adored by this world, Thou, the greatest Guru; (for) none there exists who is eal to Thee; how then could there be another superior to Thee in the three worlds, O Being of unealled power?

You are the father of the world, of all that moves and does not move; you are its object of worship and its most venerable teacher. There is none equal to you; how could there be one greater, in all the three worlds, you of incomparable power?

Arjuna calls Krishna the father of the whole world, the one to be worshipped, and the greatest guru. No one in the three worlds is his equal, let alone his superior. The titles father and teacher are significant, since the dialogue began with Arjuna's distress over fighting his elders and his teacher. Now he recognises a father and teacher beyond all others. The verse moves the hymn toward a more personal register. Arjuna is not only describing a cosmic power; he is placing himself in relation to it as a son and a disciple.
