Commentary
Bhagavan is He; in whom ever exist the six attributes in their fullness; viz.; Jnana (wisdom); Vairagya (dispassion); Aisvarya (lordship); Dharma (virtue); Sri (wealth) and Bala (omnipotence). Also; He Who knows the origin; dissolution and the future of all beings and Who is omniscient; is called Bhagavan. Vyakti Origin. Danavah Demons or the Titans. Arjuna addresses the Lord as Keshava (Lord of all) because the Lord knows what is going on in his mind; as He is omniscient. As the Lord is the source of the gods; the demons and others; they cannot comprehend His manifestation or origin. (Cf. IV.6)
