Adhyāya 10 • Shloka 1

श्रीभगवानुवाच | भूय एव महाबाहो शृणु मे परमं वचः | यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया || १ ||

śrī-bhagavān uvāca | bhūya eva mahā-bāho śṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ | yat te 'haṃ prīyamāṇāya vakṣyāmi hita-kāmyayā || 1 ||

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Listen again, O mighty-armed Arjuna. Because you are My dear friend, for your benefit I shall speak to you further, giving knowledge that is better than what I have already explained."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

The Supreme Lord initiates a new phase of instruction. He addresses Arjuna as 'mahā-bāho' (mighty-armed) and commands him: 'bhūya eva śṛṇu' (listen once again) to My supreme, ultimate instruction (me paramaṃ vacaḥ). Krishna explicitly states His motivation for continuing: 'Because you are taking great pleasure in hearing Me and are very dear to Me (prīyamāṇāya), I will speak to you (vakṣyāmi) purely out of a desire for your ultimate welfare and benefit (hita-kāmyayā).'
