Hindi Translation By Swami Ramsukhdas

।।10.42।। अथवा हे अर्जुन ! तुम्हें इस प्रकार बहुत-सी बातें जाननेकी क्या आवश्यकता है? मैं अपने किसी एक अंशसे सम्पूर्ण जगत् को व्याप्त करके स्थित हूँ।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

10.42 But of what use to you is all this extensive knowledge O Arjuna? I stand sustaining this whole universe with a fragment of Mine (of My power).

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

10.42 What is the use to you of this detailed knowledge taught by Me? I sustain this universe with an infinitesimal fraction of My power - this universe consisting of sentient and non-sentient entities, whether in effect or causal condition, whether gross or subtle - in such a manner that it does not violate My will in preserving its proper form, existence and various activities. As said by Bhagavan Parasara: 'On an infinitesimal fraction of this energy, this universe rests' (V. P., 1.9.53).

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda

10.42 Or, on the other hand, what is the need of your knowing this extensively, O Arjuna? I remain sustaning this whole creation in a special way with a part (of Myself).
