kṛitsnam

कुलक्षये प्रणश्यन्ति कुलधर्माः सनातनाः

kṛitsnam — the whole

When a family is destroyed, its ancient traditions perish; and when tradition is lost, disorder overtakes the whole family.

प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु

kṛitsna-vit — persons with knowledge

Those deluded by the strands of nature grow attached to their workings. The one who knows the whole should not unsettle those who know only part.

कर्मण्यकर्म यः पश्येदकर्मणि च कर्म यः

kṛitsna-karma-kṛit — performers all kinds of actions

The one who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is wise among people — joined, and complete in all their work.

एतद्योनीनि भूतानि सर्वाणीत्युपधारय

kṛitsnasya — entire

Know that all beings have their source in these two. I am the origin of the whole world, and its dissolution.

जरामरणमोक्षाय मामाश्रित्य यतन्ति ये

kṛitsnam — everything

Those who take refuge in me and strive for release from old age and death know Brahman, and know the whole.

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः

kṛitsnam — all

Presiding over my own nature, I bring forth this whole multitude of beings again and again, helplessly, by the working of that nature.

अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन

kṛitsnam — entire

But what need is there of all this detail, Arjuna? I stand supporting this whole world with a single part of myself.

इहैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं पश्याद्य सचराचरम्

kṛitsnam — entire

See here, gathered in one place, the whole world, moving and unmoving — and whatever else you wish to see, in this body of mine.

तत्रैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं प्रविभक्तमनेकधा

kṛitsnam — entire

There, in the body of the god of gods, Arjuna saw the whole world gathered in one place, divided into many.

यथा प्रकाशयत्येकः कृत्स्नं लोकमिमं रविः

kṛitsnam — entire

As one sun lights up this whole world, so the owner of the field lights up the whole field, Arjuna.

यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम्

kṛitsna-vat — as if it encompasses the whole

And the knowledge which clings to one thing as if it were the whole, without reason, without regard for truth, and is small — that is said to be of inertia.
