Commentaries of the Four Authorized Vaisnava Sampradayas

as confirmed in the Garga Samhita Canto 10, Chapter 61, Verses 23, 24, 25, 26
Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami

Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Lord Krishna being so beseeched and entreated to reveal more about His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence speaks the word hanta which is a very affectionate term of address.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Madhvacarya

Madhvacarya's Commentary

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Ramanuja

Ramanuja's Commentary

The word Lord Krishna uses to describe His atma-vibhutayah or His personal divine transcendental opulence is pradhanyatah which means prominent, the most exalted of His manifestations for it would not be possible to recount them all as His glories are perpetual. Throughout this chapter the Supreme Lord Krishna has expressed His power of yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness of the Supreme Lord. His yoga denotes the rulership as the creator of all and His vibhuti denotes the governance of all living entities as displayed by His residing in the etheric heart of every living entity. This also includes the functions of creator, preserver and destroyer of the total material manifestation.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya

Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

So requested Lord Krishna agrees to reveal more about His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence; but only those most prominent as there is no limit to His opulence and His glories are endless. The use of vocative particle hanta inferring dear one is very personal and indicates compassionate affection.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 10, verse 19 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
