Verse 10.38: “I am the Sceptre of the chastisers, of the triumph-seekers the State-craft; and I am the Silence of the secrets and Knowledge of those that know. (296)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Amongst rulers that hold royal sway by sceptre of chastisement, I am that very inexorable retribution that requites all created beings from the ant to the creator God in the appointed time. I am that State-craft amongst arts that decide good and evil in conduct by the righteous standard of sacred religion. I am Silence, Oh my friend, the greatest of all mysteries and so, before those that think in silence, even God Brahmadeva pales into an illiterate being. I am also the Knowledge which abides in the all-knowing. Let this alone. There is then no end to these manifestations.
