Chapter 10 verse 14
“O Krishna, I totally accept everything you have told me as the truth. O Bhagavan, neither gods nor the demons can understand your true personality.”
Arjuna in this verse for the first time calls Lord Krishna Bhagavan. Wikipedia sources indicate that word Bhagavan does not appear in any of the 4 vedas and Brahman is used instead. It first appears in mundako Upanishad and extensively in Srimad Bhagavat Gita. Vishnu purana has a complete definition of Bhagavan as below.
उत्पत्तिं प्रलयं चैव भूतानामागतिं गतिम् |
वेत्तिं विद्यामविद्यां च स वाच्यो भगवानिति ||
He who understands the creation and dissolution, the appearance and disappearance of beings, the wisdom and ignorance, should be called Bhagavān.
— Vishnu Purana, VI.5.78
So Arjuna has been able to internalize and understand all the teachings of Lord so far in the Bhagavat Gita and also realizes that this infinite expanse of His vibhuthi (glory) cannot be comprehended by any mortal or even immortal being in this multi-verse.
