Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 10 verse 37

 Chapter 10 verse 37 

Amongst the descendants of Vrishni, I am Krishna, and amongst the Pandavas I am Arjuna. Know me to be Veda Vyasa amongst the sages, and Shukracharya amongst the great thinkers.” 

There is something common among the great scriptures of sanatana dharma. Conversations are captured verbatim by the writers. Is there any more evidence needed to establish that Krishna is the great avatar of the Supreme Divine when he refers to himself in third person. He wants to make it even more tenable for Arjuna to learn his glories by pointing out his contemporaries as reflection of His great glory. He calls Krishna (vasudeva or himself) as the greatest among the vrishni clan, Arjuna as the greatest among pandavas, veda vyasa (who is sincerely reporting this Mahabharata and hence the Srimad Bhagavat Gita as well) as greatest sage and Shukracharya who was kind enough to agree to be guru of asuras. All of these great men were great reflections of the creative glory of the Supreme Lord.
