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.

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