पितासि लोकस्य चराचरस्य त्वमस्य पूज्यश्च गुरुर्गरीयान् |
न त्वत्समोऽस्त्यभ्यधिक: कुतोऽन्यो लोकत्रयेऽप्यप्रतिमप्रभाव || ११.43 ||
Summary Translation:
You are the Father of this world, of all that is moving and unmoving. You are its worshipful Lord and the Greatest Teacher. No one is equal to You, so how could there be anyone greater than You in the three worlds, O Lord of immeasurable power?
Arjuna identifies the 'Theoretic Hierarchy of the Universe.' He declares Krishna to be the 'Pitā' (Father) of the 'lokasya charācharasya' (the world of the moving and unmoving). This analysis focuses on the 'Theoretic Status' of the Lord as 'Pūjyaśh' (worshipful) and 'Guru-garīyān' (Greatest Teacher). This detailed analysis reveals that Arjuna defines 'God' as the 'Ultimate Standard' of comparison. He says 'na tvat-samo ’sty'—there is no one equal to You, 'abhyadhikaḥ kuto ’nyo'—so how could there be anyone greater? This shloka provides a ' Framework for Uniqueness.' It teaches that in the 'Loka-traye' (three worlds), there is nothing that can be compared to the 'Apratima-prabhāva' (Incomparable Power) of the Lord. Arjuna is telling Krishna that 'The ' Search' for a higher authority ends with You.' This is the ' Goal of the Comparative Seeker,' where 'The Supremacy' is 'Localized'.
The detailed analysis of 'Guru-garīyān' (Greatest Teacher) is the 'Theoretic Description of Divine Instruction.' In our practical lives, we look for 'Teachers' to guide us. Arjuna sees that the ' Source' of all wisdom is Krishna. Krishna is defining 'The Self' as the 'Originator' of the world. This shloka provides a 'Framework for the Elimination of Rivalry.' By saying 'No one is equal,' Arjuna is establishing the ' Sovereignty' of the Lord. Arjuna is defining 'Apratima-prabhāva' as the ' Defeat of Measurement.' This verse is the ' Proof that the Lord is the father of all biological and spiritual lineages.' By calling Him 'Pūjyaśh,' he covers the 'Devotional Imperative' of the vision. This shloka is the 'Universal Manual for Recognizing the Highest,' forcing us to realize that 'All other authorities are merely reflections of the One'. This is the ' Goal of the Subordinate Seeker,' where 'The Teacher' is 'Localized'.
