Arjuna uvaca: param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan, purusham shashvatam divyam adi-devam ajam vibhum

Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate abode, the greatest purifier, the eternal divine Person, the original God, the unborn, the omnipresent. Arjuna's declaration shows a transformative understanding — he now recognises Krishna not merely as a charioteer or friend but as the Supreme Absolute.

Yad yad vibhutimat sattvam shrimad urjitam eva va, tat tad evavagaccha tvam mama tejo-'msha-sambhavam

Know that whatever is glorious, prosperous, or powerful, that is a manifestation of a fragment of My splendor.

Sarva-dvaresu dehe 'smin prakasha upajayate, jnanam yada tada vidyad vivriddham sattvam ity uta

When all the gates of the body are illuminated with the light of knowledge, one may know that sattva is predominant. The symptom of sattva is the illumination of consciousness — when all senses and gates of perception are bright with awareness.
