Deepening Reverence · From Understanding to Devotion

कस्माच्च ते न नमेरन्महात्मन्गरीयसे ब्रह्मणोऽप्यादिकर्त्रे । अनन्त देवेश जगन्निवास त्वमक्षरं सदसत्तत्परं यत् ॥

kasmāc ca te na nameran mahātman garīyase brahmaṇo'py ādikartre, ananta deveśa jagannivāsa tvam akṣaraṁ sadasat tat paraṁ yat.

Meaning

"O great one, why should they not bow to You, who are greater even than Brahma, the original creator? O infinite one, Lord of gods, abode of the universe, You are the imperishable, that which is being and non-being, and what is beyond both."

Explanation

Arjuna's growing reverence shows how understanding deepens naturally into genuine, heartfelt respect.
