Shloka 10
मैं पृथिवीमें पवित्र: गन्ध और अग्निमें तेज हूँ तथा सम्पूर्ण भूतोंमें उनका जीवन हूँ और तपस्वियोंमें तप हूँ ।। बीजं मां सर्वभूतानां विद्धि पार्थ सनातनम् । बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम्,हे अर्जुन! तू सम्पूर्ण भूतोंका सनातन बीज मुझको ही जानः! मैं बुद्धिमानोंकी बुद्धि और तपस्वियोंका तेज हूँ
pṛthivyāṁ ca gandhaḥ pṛthivyāṁ ca pavitraḥ, agnau ca tejaḥ; sarvabhūteṣu ca jīvanaṁ, tapasviṣu ca tapaḥ. bījaṁ māṁ sarvabhūtānāṁ viddhi pārtha sanātanam; buddhir buddhimatām asmi tejas tejasvinām aham.
اے پارتھ! مجھے تمام بھوتوں (مخلوقات) کا ازلی بیج جان۔ میں داناؤں کی دانائی ہوں اور صاحبِ جلالوں کا جلال میں ہی ہوں۔

Educational Q&A
Krishna teaches that the highest qualities and sustaining principles in the world—earth’s pure fragrance, fire’s radiance, the life-force in all beings, and the austerity of ascetics—are manifestations of him. Therefore Arjuna should recognize Krishna as the eternal source (seed) of all creatures and as the inner intelligence and splendor wherever they appear.
Within Bhīṣma Parva’s spiritual instruction to Arjuna amid the war setting, Krishna continues a sequence of identifications showing his immanence in the cosmos. The focus shifts from external conflict to perceiving the divine foundation present in nature, life, and human excellence, strengthening Arjuna’s clarity about duty grounded in a larger sacred order.
