एषो<स्त्र॑ विविध॑ वेत्ति त्रैलोक्ये सचराचरे | न चैवान्य: पुमान्‌ वेत्ति न वेत्स्यति कदाचन

અર્જુને કહ્યું—ચરાચર સહિત ત્રિલોકમાં રહેલા નાનાવિધ અસ્ત્રો એ જાણે છે. એ સિવાય બીજો કોઈ પુરુષ તેને જાણતો નથી, અને કદી જાણશે પણ નહીં.

Educational Q&A

Exceptional power or skill, when framed within dharma, is portrayed as rare and almost unparalleled; Arjuna underscores that true mastery (here, of astras) is not common knowledge but a distinctive excellence that carries responsibility in righteous action.

Arjuna is describing and praising a particular person’s unmatched knowledge of diverse celestial and worldly weapons, asserting that across the entire threefold cosmos no other human equals this expertise, nor will anyone in the future.
