If You think, O Lord, O master, that it can be seen by me, by Arjuna, O Lord of yoga, the lord of the yogins and their yogas: since I greatly long to see it, therefore show me, for my sake, Your imperishable Self. Thus urged by Arjuna, the Blessed Lord said.

If you think that form of yours, the creator of all, the governor of all, the support of all, can be seen by me, then, Lord of discipline, show me yourself, the imperishable; discipline (yoga) is the joining with the auspicious qualities, knowledge and the rest, for it will be said, 'see My lordly discipline'. Treasure-house of the knowledge, power, lordship, valour, might, and splendour that cannot be supposed of any other than you, show me yourself. 'The imperishable' is here an adverb qualifying the act: show me yourself whole. This is the meaning. Thus entreated by Partha, filled with eagerness, his throat faltering with joy, the Blessed Lord spoke.
