Sanskrit
अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन । विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥ ४२ ॥
athavā bahunaitena kiṃ jñātena tavārjuna viṣṭabhyāham idaṃ kṛtsnam ekāṃśena sthito jagat
Translation
But what is the knowledge of all these details to thee, O Arjuna? Having pervaded this whole universe with one fragment of Myself, I remain.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
The chapter closes by deflating its own catalogue — “what use is the knowledge of all these details” — and replacing thirty-plus specific examples with one compressed claim: a single fragment of Krishna sustains the entire universe. That image of partial, fragmentary pervasion is exactly what Arjuna will no longer be satisfied with once he’s heard it, setting up his direct request in Chapter 11 to see the whole form rather than hear about a fragment of it.
