hanta te kathayiṣyāmi divyā hyātmavibhūtayaḥ
prādhānyataḥ kuruśreṣṭha nāstyanto vistarasya me
Translation
The Blessed Lord said: "Very well, O best of the Kurus, I shall tell you of my divine glories — but only the chief ones; for there is no end to my expanse."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. prādhānyataḥ yatra yatra pradhānā yā yā vibhūtiḥ tāṃ tāṃ pradhānāṃ … kathayiṣyāmi; aśeṣatas tu varṣaśatenāpi na śakyā vaktum — they could not all be told even in a hundred years.
Acharya Ramanuja. prādhānyaśabdena utkarṣo vivakṣitaḥ — "chief" means excellent (the best); jagati utkṛṣṭāḥ kāścana vibhūtīḥ vakṣyāmi; vibhūtitvaṃ nāma niyāmyatvam — to be a vibhuti is to be under the governance of the Lord.
