Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
हे अर्जुन! तू ऐसा समझ कि सम्पूर्ण भूत इन दोनों प्रकृतियोंसे ही उत्पन्न होनेवाले हैं* और मैं सम्पूर्ण जगत्का प्रभव तथा प्रलय हूँ अर्थात् सम्पूर्ण जगत्का मूल कारण हूँ? ।।
mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya | mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ sūtre maṇigaṇā iva ||
O Arjuna, unawain mo na ang lahat ng nilalang ay nagmumula sa dalawang kalikasang ito; at Ako ang pinagmulan ng buong sanlibutan at gayundin ang pagkalusaw nito. O Dhanañjaya, wala nang higit pa sa Akin. Ang buong daigdig na ito ay nakahabi sa Akin, gaya ng mga butil na nakasuksok sa iisang sinulid.

Krishna teaches His unsurpassed supremacy as the ultimate ground of reality: nothing exists higher than Him, and the whole world is sustained in Him like beads on a thread. This supports a devotional and ethically steady life—acting in one’s duty while recognizing the single sustaining source behind all phenomena.
In the midst of the Kurukshetra setting, Krishna instructs Arjuna on divine nature and the foundation of the universe. This verse emphasizes that all multiplicity is held together by Krishna, strengthening Arjuna’s clarity and resolve for righteous action.
