Chapter 10,  Verse 1

श्रीभगवानुवाच-भूय एव महाबाहो श्रृणु मे परमं वचः ।यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया ॥
The Blessed Lord said: Listen again to my divine teachings, O mighty armed one. Desiring your welfare because you are my beloved friend, I shall reveal them to you.
न मे विदुः सुरगणाः प्रभवं न महर्षयः ।अहमादिर्हि देवानां महर्षीणां च सर्वशः ॥
Neither celestial gods nor the great sages know my origin. I am the source from which the gods and great seers come.
यो मामजमनादिं च वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम्‌ । असम्मूढः स मर्त्येषु सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥ 
 Those who know me as unborn and beginningless, and as the Supreme Lord of the universe, they among mortals are free from illusion and released from all evils.
बुद्धिर्ज्ञानमसम्मोहः क्षमा सत्यं दमः शमः ।सुखं दुःखं भवोऽभावो भयं चाभयमेव च ॥
From me alone arise the varieties in the qualities amongst humans, such as intellect, knowledge, clarity of thought,

The seven great Sages, the four great Saints before them, and the fourteen Manus, are all born from my mind. From them, all the people in the world have descended.
एतां विभूतिं योगं च मम यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।सोऽविकम्पेन योगेन युज्यते नात्र संशयः ॥  
Those who know in truth my glories and divine powers become united with me through unwavering bhakti yog. Of this there is no doubt.
( फल और प्रभाव सहित भक्तियोग का कथन )अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
I am the origin of all creation. Everything proceeds from me. The wise who know this perfectly worship me with great faith and devotion.
मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्तः परस्परम्‌ ।कथयन्तश्च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च ॥ 

With their minds fixed on me and their lives surrendered to me, my devotees remain ever contented in me. They derive great satisfaction and bliss in enlightening one another about me, and conversing about my glories.

तेषां सततयुक्तानां भजतां प्रीतिपूर्वकम्‌ ।ददामि बद्धियोगं तं येन मामुपयान्ति ते ॥ 
To those whose minds are always united with me in loving devotion, I give the divine knowledge by which they can attain me.
तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः।नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता ॥  
 Out of compassion for them, I, who dwell within their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance, with the luminous lamp of knowledge.
