10.40 There is no end to them Krishna speaks

नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परंतप
एष तूद्देशतः प्रोक्तो विभूतेर्विस्तरो मया

nānto ’sti mama divyānāṁ vibhūtīnāṁ parantapa
eṣha tūddeśhataḥ prokto vibhūter vistaro mayā

There is no end to my divine glories, Arjuna. What I have said is only a pointer to their extent.

Explanation

There is no end to them.

What has been said is ekadeśena — only a pointer to their extent.

The same frame as 10.19, closing what it opened. The list is bracketed at both ends by an admission that it is a sample, which is what keeps it from being a map.
