7.10 The seed, and the sharpness Krishna speaks

बीजं मां सर्वभूतानां विद्धि पार्थ सनातनम्
बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम्

bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ viddhi pārtha sanātanam
buddhir buddhimatām asmi tejas tejasvinām aham

Know me as the eternal seed of all beings, son of Pritha. I am the understanding of the understanding, the splendour of the splendid.

Explanation

The seed, and then two sharper claims.

The understanding of the understanding; the splendour of the splendid. He is not the wise person but what is wise in them.

Which is the grammatical form of 15.7's fragment, arrived at eight chapters earlier. Whatever in you is any good is being described as on loan.
