Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Only Lord Krishna is known to Himself and able to elaborate upon His transcendental, majestic opulence and not the demi-gods or any other gods. Therefore all His divine attributes and phenomenal qualities which are pervading throughout all creation should mercifully be described by Him.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Madhvacarya
Madhvacarya's Commentary

The word vibhutayah means transcendental opulence denoting vivida bhutayah or Lord Krishna's multitudinous manifestations in many wonderful and phenomenal forms.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Ramanuja
Ramanuja's Commentary

Whatever glories and wondrous phenomenal activities that manifest and exist as a result of the Supreme Lord Krishna; only He and He alone is able to describe and elaborate upon them as only He alone is capable of displaying them. His glories are unlimited and endless and as He is proficient in the governing of all creation through His all pervading aspect and the governing of all beings by His paramatma aspect within all beings as the Supreme soul.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Lord Krishna is being implored to elaborate upon His glorious vibhuti or transcendental opulence as only He is able to accurately describe in full His divinely supreme glories by which He pervades and controls all creation.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 10, verse 16 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
