नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परन्तप | एष तूद्देशत: प्रोक्तो विभूतेर्विस्तरो मया || 40 || |

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that his divine manifestations and opulences are limitless and beyond comprehension. He reassures Arjuna that the descriptions he has provided so far are only a small glimpse of his infinite glories. The divine manifestations (vibhutis) are the various extraordinary and divine expressions of the Supreme Being.
Lord Krishna uses the term “विभूतीनां” (vibhutīnām), which refers to the divine opulences, powers, and manifestations that are evident in the world. He asserts that there is no end to these divine manifestations, indicating the boundless nature of his greatness. The Lord’s divine manifestations are the expressions of his cosmic power, wisdom, and splendor, which permeate every aspect of creation.
However, Lord Krishna acknowledges that he has provided only a glimpse of his infinite manifestations and opulences. The descriptions he has shared are not an exhaustive list but rather a concise representation to help Arjuna understand the magnitude of his divine presence and the extent of his divine manifestations.
This verse reminds the reader of the incomprehensible nature of the Supreme Being and emphasizes that human language and understanding are limited in fully grasping the vastness and magnificence of the divine. It encourages seekers to develop a sense of awe, reverence, and wonderment for the divine manifestations in the world and to strive for a deeper connection with the divine through devotion and spiritual practice.
