Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya: Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Now Arjuna confesses that the ignorance he had concerning Lord Krishna's
transcendental potencies and absolute supremacy over all creation have been
totally dispelled and that everything Lord Krishna has declared is absolute
reality and the ultimate truth. Even the 330 million demi-gods, who are
Lord Krishna's empowered servitors administrating universal management in
every aspect of material existence are unaware of His real identity,
potencies and manifestations. In verse two Lord Krishna has already stated
that the demi-gods are not able to fathom His divine appearance. The sense
is that the demigods cannot fathom that Lord Krishna's divine
manifestations are for protecting them and the righteous and the demons
are unable to fathom that these divine manifestations are for annihilating
them and the unrighteous.

| Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya: Madhvacarya | There is no commentary for this verse.
| Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya: Ramanuja |
Ramanuja's Commentary
Here Arjuna is asserting that all Lord Krishna is stating is absolutely
factual and not any metaphorical description. This means that every word
that Lord Krishna speaks is the absolute reality and His extraordinary and
infinite glories and illustrious qualities and phenomenal attributes are
always manifest and eternal. Thus Lord Krishna is known as Bhagavan the
complete possessor of the six opulences: total power, total beauty, total
wisdom, total wealth, total fame and total renunciation. Neither the devah
or demigods nor the danavah or demons being of limited understanding have
the ability to understand Him and perceive His identity in full.

| Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya: Nimbaditya |
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
Now it is being confirmed by Arjuna that all Lord Krishna states as well as
all that the great sages have stated about Him is 100% correct and
absolutely true. He addresses Lord Krishna as Bhagavan meaning the complete
possessor of total power, total wisdom, total beauty, total wealth, total
fame and total renunciation. He also asserts that neither the servitors of
righteousness the demigods nor the opponents to righteousness the demons
both of limited understanding are able to know the Supreme Lord who
performs His phenomenal pastimes as though they are sport.
