vaktum arhasy aśeṣeṇa divyā hy ātmavibhūtayaḥ yābhir vibhūtibhir lokān imāṃs tvaṃ vyāpya tiṣṭhasi

Translation

Deign to tell without reserve of Thine own divine glories, by which glories Thou remainest, pervading these worlds.

Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain

Explanation

Arjuna’s actual request begins here — tell, without reserve, of the divine glories by which Krishna pervades and sustains the worlds. The phrase vyāpya tiṣṭhasi, “pervading, remainest,” is the same verb pairing that closes the entire chapter in verse 42’s sthito jagat.
