Shloka 12
अर्जुन बोले--आप परम ब्रह्म
arjuna uvāca—paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān | puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam ādi-devam ajaṁ vibhum || evaṁ ṛṣayo vadanti tvām ṛṣir nāradas tathā | asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṁ caiva bravīṣi me ||
ارجن نے کہا—آپ پرم برہمن، پرم دھام اور نہایت پاکیزہ ہیں؛ آپ ازلی و ابدی، دیویہ پُرش، دیوتاؤں کے بھی آدی دیو، اَجنما اور سَروَویَاپی ہیں۔

Educational Q&A
Arjuna affirms Krishna’s supreme status—unborn, all-pervading, the source even of the gods—based on the testimony of revered sages and Krishna’s own words. Ethically, this establishes a trustworthy foundation for guidance on dharma amid the confusion of war.
On the battlefield, after hearing Krishna’s teachings, Arjuna responds with reverent recognition. He cites authoritative seers (Nārada, Asita, Devala, Vyāsa) to confirm Krishna’s divinity and signals readiness to receive further instruction with faith and discernment.
