My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

O Mighty One! Why should they not bow down to You, the Primal Creator, Who is greater than even Brahma (personal god)? O Endless One, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the universe! You are unalterable, existent, non-existent, and also that which is beyond both.

Shri Purohit Swami

How should they do otherwise? O Thou Supremest Self, greater than the Powers of creation, the First Cause, Infinite, the Lord of Lords, the Home of the universe, Imperishable, Being and Not-Being, yet transcending both.

Swami Adidevananda

(a) And why should they not, O Mahatman, bow down to You who are great, being the first Creator, even of Brahma?

Swami Gambirananda

And why should they not bow down to You, O exalted [i.e. not narrow-minded.] One, who are greater (than all) and who are the first Creator even of Brahma! O infinite One, supreme God, Abode of the Universe, You are the Immutable,being and non-being, (and) that which is Transcendental.

Swami Sivananda

And why should they not, O great soul, bow to Thee who art greater (than all else), the primal cause even of (Brahma) the creator, O Infinite Being! O Lord of the gods! O abode of the universe! Thou art the imperishable, the Being, the non-being and That which is the supreme (that which is beyond the Being and non-being).

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Arjuna said, "O Lord of sense-organs (Krsna)! The universe is rightly rejoicing and feeling exceedingly delighted by Your high glory; the demons are fleeing in fear in all directions; and the hosts of the perfected ones are bowing down to You."

Shri Purohit Swami

Arjuna said: My Lord! It is natural that the world revels and rejoices when it sings the praises of Thy glory; the demons fly in fear and the saints offer Thee their salutations.

Swami Adidevananda

Arjuna said Rightly it is, O Krsna, that Your praise should move the world to joy and love. The Raksasas flee in fear on all sides, and all the hosts of Siddhas bow down to You.

Swami Gambirananda

Arjuna said It is proper, O Hrsikesa, that the world becomes delighted and attracted by Your praise; that the Raksasas, stricken with fear, run in all directions; and that all the groups of the Siddhas bow down (to You).

Swami Sivananda

It is meet, O Krishna, that the world delights and rejoices in Thy praise; demons fly in fear to all quarters and the hosts of the perfected ones bow to Thee!
