Assim, no Mahābhārata, no Bhīṣma Parva, na seção conhecida como a Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā, entre os ensinamentos de caráter upaniṣádico da Gītā—sobre o conhecimento de Brahman e a disciplina do Yoga—no diálogo entre Śrī Kṛṣṇa e Arjuna, encerra-se o décimo capítulo, chamado “Vibhūti Yoga” (O Yoga das Manifestações Divinas).

This line is a colophon (closing formula), not a spoken doctrinal verse. It frames the Bhagavad Gītā as Upaniṣadic teaching (brahmavidyā) presented as a yoga-śāstra, and it names the chapter’s theme: Vibhūti Yoga—recognizing the Divine through its supreme manifestations, which supports devotion and steadiness of mind amid moral conflict.
The text is marking the conclusion of the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā within the Mahābhārata’s Bhīṣma Parva. It situates the teaching as part of the Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna dialogue on the battlefield context, and formally announces the chapter title “Vibhūti Yoga.”
