Abstract
This publication presents the Ukrainian translation of the tenth and eleventh chapters of Bhagavadgita, composed perhaps in the 1st or 2nd century CE that is the most famous Hindu Scripture.
The tenth chapter is titled The Yoga of Divine Glories. It continues the list of manifestations of Krishna that began in the seventh chapter (verses 8–13) and is detailed in verses 16–19 of the ninth chapter. Krishna identifies himself with the Atman “dwelling in the hearts of all beings”, as well as with eminent representatives of various groups of gods, priests, generals, reservoirs, mountains, trees, weapons, snakes, animals, birds, fish, etc. The summary of the tenth chapter is the Krishna’s assertion: “Whatever is glorious, beautiful and mighty that all such has issued from a fragment of My splendor”.
The eleventh chapter is titled The Yoga of the vision of the Cosmic Form. At the request of Arjuna, Krishna gave him the ability to see the entire universe in Krishna’s body. Arjuna saw endless forms of Krishna and saw all beings in Krishna’s body. All beings and worlds have entered into the mouth of Krishna for their annihilation. Krishna explained that he is mighty world-destroying Time now engaged in wiping out the world. To calm the frightened Arjuna, he again took on the anthropomorphic form. The last verses say, a chance to see Krishna in this form and come to him is given only by unswerving devotion or bhakti.
The concepts and realities considered in these chapters are explained by the translator in notes, with quotations from the Mahabharata, as well as by citing the Rigveda, Vedanta Sutras, Vishnu Purana, Laws of Manu, Samkhya Karika, Upanishads and other classical texts of Hinduism.
