Ahus tvam rishayah sarve devarshir naradas tatha, asito devalo vyasah svayam caiva bravishi me

All the sages, as well as the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa, proclaim You as the Supreme, and now You Yourself are telling me the same. Arjuna validates Krishna's divine nature by pointing to the unanimous testimony of great sages — a convergence of inner experience and outer authority.

  • •Great sages unanimously testify to the supreme nature of God
  • •Both scripture and direct revelation confirm the Lord's supremacy
  • •Validation from multiple sources of wisdom strengthens genuine faith

Chapter 10 • Verse 26 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Ashvatthah sarva-vrikshana devarshhinam ca naradah, gandharvanam chitrarathah siddhanam kapilo munih

Among all trees I am the Ashvattha (sacred fig); among divine sages I am Narada; among Gandharvas I am Chitraratha; and among the perfected beings I am the sage Kapila. The Ashvattha tree (Ficus religiosa) is considered sacred in Hindu tradition; Narada and Kapila represent the highest expressions of devotional and philosophical wisdom.

  • •The sacred fig tree (peepal) embodies divine life and cosmic continuity
  • •Narada is the supreme divine sage of devotional love (bhakti)
  • •Kapila Muni represents the highest wisdom of Sankhya philosophical enquiry
