Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11 Verse 40
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 11 श्लोक 40

नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते
नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व।
अनन्तवीर्यामितविक्रमस्त्वं
सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततोऽसि सर्वः।।11.40।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
11.40. Salutation to You in the front and behind;  salutation to You, just on all sides, O One Who are All ! You are of infinite might and of immeasurable powers;  and You pervade all and hence You are all.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
11.39-40 Namo  namah etc.  Salutation and salutation :  This  repetition reveals the intensity of the devotion.  What has been taught by the past chapters by the Bhagavat regarding His own intrinsic nature,  Arjuna - witnessing the same by perception - declares it openly by way of devotional hymn.  Hence, to comment on the hymn would  symply amount to the repetition  [of what has already been said by us].  Hence, let me  (11.Ag.)  abstain [from commenting on it].
