Chapter 10 verse 12-13
“Arjun said: You are the Supreme Divine Personality, the Supreme Abode, the Supreme Purifier, the Eternal God, the Primal Being, the Unborn, and the Greatest. The great sages, like Narada, Asit, Deval, and Vyasa, proclaimed this, and now you are declaring it to me yourself.”
After more than half of the Bhagavat Gita, Arjuna finally declares that Lord Sree Krishna is indeed the Supreme Being, ultimate abode, paramatma and param dhaamaa. He also quotes other great sages of his times to confirm his understanding. Some of the sages he quotes are Narada Asit, Deval and Vyasa. Interestingly Arjuna is hearing it directly from Lord Krishna and yet he is still coming to grips with his dearest friend and cousin declaring self to be Supreme. The truth of these verses is mind boggling that Vyasa who wrote Mahabharata and noted down conversation between Lord and Arjuna in Bhagavat Gita does not edit anything and only includes reference to him if it is discussed at all. No poetic or literary license. Thus the purity of the epic has ensured its longevity and relevance for time immemorial.
