This is verse 11.43 of the Jnaneshwari (Bhavartha-Dipika), the English translation of 13th-century Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita.—The Dnyaneshwari (Jnaneshwari) brings to light the deeper meaning of the Gita which represents the essence of the Vedic Religion. This is verse 43 of the chapter called Vishvarupa-darshana-yoga.

Verse 11.43:Father Thou art unto this world of the moving and the non-moving. Thou art of it the revered and the mighty Preceptor. There exists not another Thy equal; whence then can there exist, O Thou of Peerless Potence, Thine superior in this world-triad? (561)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

I have beheld Thee, Oh Lord, in Thy true and perfect glory; the whole world of living creatures and lifeless matter is borne by Thee. Thou art the Supreme God Almighty of all Gods, including Hari (God Vishnu) and Hara (God Shiva). Thou art the first primeval preceptor in the world, from whom the very Vedas received illumination. Oh Shri Rama, Thou art the Supreme soul, profound and Inscrutable; evenly just to all living creatures. Thou art indeed matchlessly unequalled in all superb perfections, and thus the Absolute person without a second. No need to give the why and wherefore of this, for by thee is generated the vault of heaven that holds the entire universe. Any being equal to Thee, we should blush to own; why then vainly talk of any being higher than Thee? Therefore, Thou art the Supreme Being in all the three worlds, none like Thee, much less greater than Thee. Immeasurably surpassing is Thy Divine Majesty, beggaring my description.
