sarve

युधामन्युश्च विक्रान्त उत्तमौजाश्च वीर्यवान्

sarve — all

the son of Subhadra, and the sons of Draupadi — every one of them a great chariot-warrior.

अन्ये च बहवः शूरा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः

sarve — all

and many other heroes besides, ready to lay down their lives for me — all of them armed with many weapons, all skilled in war.

अयनेषु च सर्वेषु यथाभागमवस्थिताः

sarveṣhu — all

Hold your assigned places at every point of entry, all of you, and above all defend Bhishma.

यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके

sarvataḥ — in all respects

Whatever use a small pool of water has, a great lake has too. So it is with all the scriptures for one who has understood.

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्

sarve — all

As rivers enter the ocean, which is filled and yet unmoved at its foundation, so all desires enter the one who is at peace.

न हि कश्िचत्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत्

sarvaḥ — all

No one can stay for even a moment without acting. Everyone is made to act by the strands of nature, whether they will it or not.

यस्य सर्वे समारम्भाः कामसङ्कल्पवर्जिताः

sarve — every

One whose undertakings are all free of desire and calculation, whose actions have been burnt in the fire of knowledge — that one the wise call learned.

अपाने जुह्वति प्राण प्राणेऽपानं तथाऽपरे

sarve — all

Others offer the outgoing breath into the incoming, and the incoming into the outgoing, holding both still, intent on the breath.

अपरे नियताहाराः प्राणान्प्राणेषु जुह्वति

sarve — all

Others eat sparingly and offer breath into breath. All of these know what an offering is, and their wrongs are consumed by it.

उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम्

sarve — all

All of them are worthy, but the one who knows is my very self, as I see it. Steady, that person has taken me as the highest goal.

तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च

sarveṣhu — in all

So remember me at all times, and fight. With mind and understanding surrendered to me, you will surely come to me.

अव्यक्ताद्व्यक्तयः सर्वाः प्रभवन्त्यहरागमे

sarvāḥ — all

At the coming of that day all things manifest emerge from the unmanifest; at the fall of night they dissolve into it again.

परस्तस्मात्तु भावोऽन्योऽव्यक्तोऽव्यक्तात्सनातनः

sarveṣhu — all

But beyond that unmanifest is another, higher, eternal and unmanifest, which does not perish when all beings perish.

आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा

sarve — all

All the seers say it of you — Narada, Asita, Devala, Vyasa — and you yourself tell me so.

द्यावापृथिव्योरिदमन्तरं हि व्याप्तं त्वयैकेन दिशश्च सर्वाः

sarvāḥ — all

This space between heaven and earth, and all the directions, is filled by you alone. Seeing this wonderful and terrible form of yours, great being, the three worlds tremble.

रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्या विश्वेऽश्िवनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च

sarve — all

The Rudras, the sons of Aditi, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Vishvas, the Ashvins, the winds, the ancestors, the hosts of celestial singers, spirits and demons and the perfected — all gaze at you in wonder.

अमी च त्वां धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राः सर्वे सहैवावनिपालसङ्घैः

sarve — all

And there the sons of Dhritarashtra, all of them, with the hosts of kings, and Bhishma and Drona and Karna too, and the chief warriors of our own side,

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः

sarve — all

I am time, the destroyer of worlds, grown mighty; I have come forth to bring their ending. Even without you, none of these warriors drawn up in the opposing ranks will remain.

स्थाने हृषीकेश तव प्रकीर्त्या जगत् प्रहृष्यत्यनुरज्यते च

sarve — all

It is fitting, Krishna, that the world rejoices and delights in praising you. The demons flee in every direction, and all the perfected bow.

नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व

sarvataḥ — from all sides

I bow to you from the front and from behind; I bow to you on every side, you who are all. Of endless strength and measureless might, you pervade everything, and so you are all.

समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम्

sarveṣhu — in all

One who sees the highest lord standing the same in all beings, undying among the dying, truly sees.

परं भूयः प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम्

sarve — all

I will declare again the highest knowledge, best of all knowledge, by knowing which those who practise have reached perfection.

गामाविश्य च भूतानि धारयाम्यहमोजसा

sarvāḥ — all

Entering the earth, I support all beings by my strength; and becoming the moisture of taste, I nourish all plants.

पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान्

sarveṣhu — in all

But the knowledge which, seeing separateness, takes the many natures of beings to be distinct in kind, is of restlessness.

ब्रह्मभूतः प्रसन्नात्मा न शोचति न काङ्क्षति

sarveṣhu — toward all

Having become Brahman, serene in self, one does not grieve and does not crave; the same toward all beings, such a person reaches the highest devotion to me.
