Vibhūti Yog: Yog through Appreciating the Infinite Opulences of God

Chapter 10: With 42 verses or shlokas, the tenth chapter is one of the lengthier chapters, and it describes the opulence of Lord Bhagavan Sri Krishna.

Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Shloka 1-11,19-42): 35 Shlokas

Arjuna (Shloka 12,18): 7 Shlokas

Brief Summary: Initially, the lord explains his opulence to Arjuna by stating that he is the source of demigods and is unborn. All the qualities, good and bad are created by him (Intelligence, freedom from doubt, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, fear and fearlessness, etc.). Four great sages were followed by seven great sages, and the manus came from Krishna's mind. He is the source of the spiritual and material world. 

The inquisitive Arjun further requests the lord to explain his mystical powers. In response, lord Krishna says his opulence is limitless, yet he will highlight the prominent aspects.
