Well then, now I shall tell you those divine glories which are the Self's, the glories which are Mine; by their chief ones: wherever there is a chief glory, that chief one I shall tell, by way of the chief ones, O best of the Kurus. To tell them without remainder is not possible even in a hundred years, since there is no end of the expanse of My glories. First of all, hear this.

The Blessed Lord spoke. Best of the Kurus, I shall tell you My blessed glories chiefly. By the word 'chiefly' eminence is meant; for it will be said, 'of household priests, know Me the chief'. I shall tell of certain eminent glories in the world; to tell at length, and to hear, is not possible, by reason of their endlessness. Being-a-glory means being-governed; having said that the various states of being, the understanding and the rest, of all beings come to be from Me alone, in 'he who knows truly this glory of Mine and this discipline', so it is right that there what is indicated by the word 'discipline' is the being-the-creator and the rest, and what is indicated by the word 'glory' is the being-set-going by it. And again, in 'holding that I am the arising of all and that from Me everything sets going, the wise, joined with feeling, worship Me', it was said. There, having abided as the self of all beings, setting them going, namely the governing, this is the meaning indicated by the word 'discipline'; that the being-the-creator, the being-the-protector, and the being-the-withdrawer of all is so, the Lord states quite plainly.
