विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन |
भूय: कथय तृप्तिर्हि श्रृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् || १०.१८ ||
Summary Translation:
O Janardana, please describe again in detail Your mystic power and opulences. I am never satiated in hearing about You, for the more I hear the more I want to taste the nectar of Your words.
Arjuna identifies the 'Theoretic Insatiability of Spiritual Hunger.' He says, 'vistareṇātmano yogaṁ vibhūtiṁ cha janārdana'—in detail (vistareṇa), Your (ātmanaḥ) mystic power (yogam) and opulences (vibhūtim), O Janardana. 'bhūyaḥ kathaya tṛiptir hi śhṛiṇvato nāsti me ’mṛitam'—tell (kathaya) again (bhūyaḥ); for (hi) there is no (nāsti) satiety (tṛiptiḥ) for me (me) in hearing (śhṛiṇvataḥ) this nectar (amṛitam). This analysis focuses on the 'Theoretic Property of Divine Speech.' Arjuna explains that while material speech causes boredom or satiation, Divine speech acts like 'Amṛitam' (Nectar/Ambrosia)—the more you have, the more you want. In the 'Theoretic Framework of Trans-material Taste,' the 'Rasa' (Flavor) of Krishna’s words is 'Nitya-navyam' (Ever-fresh). This detailed analysis reveals that Arjuna defines 'Tṛipti' (Satisfaction) as a state that is 'Never reached' because the joy is 'Ever-expanding.' This shloka provides a ' Framework for the Continuous Nature of Revelation.' It teaches that 'Bhūyaḥ' (Again) is not a repetition but a deepening. Arjuna is telling Krishna that 'Your words are not just information; they are life-giving nectar that has made me addicted to the truth.' This is the ' Goal of the Thirsty Seeker,' where 'The Hearing' is 'Endless'.
The detailed analysis of the word 'Janārdana' (One who maintains/liberates people) is the 'Theoretic Description of the Sustainer.' In our practical lives, we get tired of listening to the same things. Arjuna is stating that Krishna’s words 'Liberate' (from the root 'ard' to move/strike) the listener from boredom and ignorance. Krishna is defining 'The Self' as the 'Well of eternal nectar.' This shloka provides a 'Framework for the End of Spiritual Stagnation.' It teaches that 'Vistareṇa' (In detail) is requested because every detail of God is a source of bliss. Arjuna is defining 'Amṛitam' as the quality of Krishna’s instructions that grants immortality to the intellect. This verse is the ' Proof that spiritual growth is powered by enthusiasm.' By asking 'Bhūyaḥ' (Again), Arjuna confirms that the 'Prīti' (Joy) mentioned in 10.1 has been fully activated. This shloka is the 'Universal Manual for the Devoted Listener,' forcing us to realize that 'The limit of our knowledge is only the limit of our desire to hear'. This is the ' Goal of the Satiety-less Seeker,' where 'The Nectar' is 'Flowing'.
