विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन ।भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि शृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् ॥

vistareṇātmano yogaṃ vibhūtiṃ ca janārdana | bhūyaḥ kathaya tṛptir hi śṛṇvato nāsti me 'mṛtam ||

विस्तरेण · vistareṇa
at length, in detail
विभूतिम् · vibhūtim
glory
जनार्दन · janārdana
O Janardana (Krishna)
भूयः · bhūyaḥ
again, further
कथय · kathaya
tell
तृप्तिः · tṛptiḥ
satiety
शृण्वतः · śṛṇvataḥ
as I hear
अमृतम् · amṛtam
nectar

Tell me again at length of your yoga and glory, O Janardana — for I find no satiety in hearing your nectar.

Original plain-language translation

Hunger that eating sharpens: the nectar-word never cloys. Arjuna's insatiability delights the teacher he loves. Devotion's ear is as endless as the glories themselves.
