Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

To conclude the present section, the Lord summarises His Glory (vibhūti) as follows: There is no being without Me; for anything into which I have not entered would be without Self (could not exist) and would be void (śūnya). Wherefore, everything is of My nature (i.e., I am the essence of everything).
