Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Bhagavad-gita As It Is 10.40

nanto 'sti mama divyanam

vibhutinam parantapa

esa tuddesatah prokto

vibhuter vistaro maya

SYNONYMS

na -- nor; antah -- a limit; asti -- there is; mama -- My; divyanam -- of the divine; vibhutinam -- opulences; parantapa -- O conqueror of the enemies; esah -- all this; tu -- but; uddesatah -- as examples; proktah -- spoken; vibhuteh -- of opulences; vistarah -- the expanse; maya -- by Me.

TRANSLATION

O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.

PURPORT

As stated in the Vedic literature, although the opulences and energies of the Supreme are understood in various ways, there is no limit to such opulences; therefore not all the opulences and energies can be explained. Simply a few examples are being described to Arjuna to pacify his inquisitiveness.
