bhūya eva mahābāho śrṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ |yatte'haṃ prīyamāṇāya vakṣyāmi hitakāmyayā ||
Once again, O mighty-armed one, listen to my supreme word, which I will speak to you for your good, since you delight in hearing it.
Explanation
Krishna begins the tenth chapter by speaking again to Arjuna, whom he calls "mighty-armed" (mahābāho). He says he will share a supreme teaching, out of affection and concern for Arjuna's welfare (hita). What follows is an account of Krishna's divine glories (vibhūti), showing him as the source of all beings, gods and sages.
