Sanskrit recitation
Glory in the world you already know · 10.19–10.42 · Teaching
Translation
Whatever being there is glorious, prosperous, or powerful, know that to be a manifestation of a part of My splendor.
Hindi translation
जो-जो ऐश्वर्ययुक्त, शोभायुक्त और बलयुक्त प्राणी तथा वस्तु है, उस-उसको तुम मेरे ही तेज-(योग-) के अंशसे उत्पन्न हुई समझो।
Meaning
Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Kṛṣṇa’s opulence, whether it be in the spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered to represent Kṛṣṇa’s opulence.
After A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
