Whatever being there is glorious, prosperous or powerful, that know thou to be a manifestation of a part of My splendour.

Whatever being has glory, beauty or strength, know that it springs from a mere spark of my splendour.

Krishna gives Arjuna a rule he can carry with him in place of an endless list. Wherever he meets something that is glorious, graceful or powerful, he should understand it as arising from a fragment of Krishna's radiance. The rule turns ordinary experience into a practice of remembrance. A great river, a noble act, a brilliant mind or a moment of beauty can each become a reminder of the divine source. The verse also keeps the proportion clear: what is admired in the world is only a part, a spark, of a splendour far greater.
