Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।10.42।।अथवा हे अर्जुन इस उपर्युक्त प्रकारसे वर्णन किये हुए अधूरे विभूतिविस्तारके जाननेसे तेरा क्या ( प्रयोजन सिद्ध ) होगा? ( तू तो बस? ) यह सम्पूर्णतासे कहा जानेवाला अभिप्राय ही सुन ले -- मैं एक अंशसे अर्थात् सर्व भूतोंका आत्मरूप जो मेरा एक अवयव है उससे? इस सारे जगत्को विशेष रूपसे दृढ़तापूर्वक धारण करके स्थित हो रहा हूँ। ऐसा ही वेदमन्त्र भी कहते हैं कि समस्त भूत इस परमेश्वरका एक पाद है। इत्यादि।

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 Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

10.42 Athava, or, on the other hand; kim, what is the need; of tava jnatena, your knowing; etena bahuna, this extensively-but imcompletely-in the above manner, O Arjuna? You listen to this subject that is going to be stated in its fullness: Aham, I; sthitah, remain; vistabhya, sustaining, supporting, holding firmly, in a special way; idam, this; krtsnam, whole; jagat, creation; ekamsena, by a part, by a foot [The Universe is called a foot of His by virtue of His having the limiting adjunct of being its efficient and material cause.] (of Myself), i.e. as the Self of all things [As the material and the efficient cause of all things]. The Vedic text, 'All beings form a foot of His' (Rg., Pu. Su. 10.90.3; Tai. Ar. 3.12.3) support this. [A Form constituted by the whole of creation has been presented in this chapter for meditation. Thery the unalified transcendental Reality, implied by the word tat (in tattva-masi) and referred to by the latter portion of the Commentator's otation (viz tripadasyamrtam divi: The immortal three-footed One is established in His own effulgence), becomes established.]
