Explanation
There is nothing whatsoever higher than me, O Dhananjaya. All this is strung on me like rows of gems on a thread.
The image of the necklace is beautiful: the gems are many and different, but one hidden thread holds them all. So the Divine runs through all beings, unseen yet holding everything together.
भावार्थ
हे धनञ्जय, मुझसे श्रेष्ठ दूसरा कुछ भी नहीं है; यह सारा जगत् सूत में मणियों के समान मुझमें गुँथा हुआ है।
Living it today
