Chapter 10: Vibhooti Yoga, verse 13
आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा।
असितो देवलो व्यासः स्वयं चैव ब्रवीषि मे ॥
Say itāhus tvām ṛiṣhayaḥ sarve devarṣhir nāradas tathā
asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṁ chaiva bravīṣhi me
Translation
All the sages have thus declared Thee, as also the divine sage Narada; so also Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and now Thou Thyself dost say so to me.
Swami Sivananda
Arjuna said, "You are the supreme Brahman, the supreme Light, the supreme Sanctifier. All the sages, as well as the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa [Although Narada and the other sages are already mentioned by the words 'all the sages', they are still named separately due to their eminence. Asita is the father of Devala.] call You the eternal divine Person, the Primal God, the Birthless, the Omnipresent; and You Yourself indeed tell me this."
Swami Gambirananda
Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).
Arjuna said, "You are the Supreme Brahman, the Supreme Light, and the Supreme Sanctifier. All the seers proclaim You as the eternal, divine Person, the Primal Lord, the unborn, and all-pervading. So too do the divine sages Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa proclaim. You Yourself also proclaim this."
Swami Adidevananda
Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).
Arjuna said, "You are the Supreme Brahman, the Supreme Abode, and the Supreme Purifier. All the seers, as well as the divine seer Narada, Asita Devala, and Vyasa, describe You as the Eternal Divine Soul, the Unborn, and the All-Manifesting First-God. You too have said this to me."
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).
So have said the seers, the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and Thou Thyself also sayest it.
Shri Purohit Swami
अर्जुन बोले -- परम ब्रह्म, परम धाम और महान् पवित्र आप ही हैं। आप शाश्वत, दिव्य पुरुष, आदिदेव, अजन्मा और विभु (व्यापक) हैं -- ऐसा सब-के-सब ऋषि, देवर्षि नारद, असित, देवल तथा व्यास कहते हैं और स्वयं आप भी मेरे प्रति कहते हैं।
Swami Ramsukhdas
ऐसा आपको समस्त ऋषिजन कहते हैं; वैसे ही देवर्षि नारद, असित, देवल ऋषि तथा व्यास और स्वयं आप भी मेरे प्रति कहते हैं।
