10.41 A fragment of my splendour Krishna speaks

यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा
तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसंभवम्

yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ śhrīmad ūrjitam eva vā
tat tad evāvagachchha tvaṁ mama tejo ’nśha-sambhavam

Whatever is glorious, whatever is beautiful, whatever is mighty — know that it comes from a fragment of my splendour.

Explanation

Whatever is glorious, beautiful, or mighty.

Know that it comes from a fragment of his splendour — tejo-'ṁśa-sambhavam.

This is the rule the whole catalogue was illustrating, stated once the examples are done. It converts forty specific claims into a general test anyone can apply to anything.
