Translation
I believe all that You have said to me to be true, O Krishna; indeed, O blessed Lord! Neither the gods nor the demons know Your manifestation (origin).
Hindi translation
हे केशव ! मेरेसे आप जो कुछ कह रहे हैं, यह सब मैं सत्य मानता हूँ। हे भगवन् ! आपके प्रकट होनेको न तो देवता जानते हैं और न दानव ही जानते हैं।
Meaning
Bhagavan is He, in whom ever exist the six attributes in their fullness, viz., Jnana (wisdom), Vairagya (dispassion), Aisvarya (lordship), Dharma (virtue), Sri (wealth) and Bala (omnipotence). Also, He Who knows the origin, dissolution and the future of all beings and Who is omniscient, is called Bhagavan.Vyakti Origin.Danavah Demons or the Titans.Arjuna addresses the Lord as Keshava (Lord of all) because the Lord knows what is going on in his mind, as He is omniscient. As the Lord is the source of the gods, the demons and others, they cannot comprehend His manifestation or origin. (Cf.IV.6)
