In this verse, Krishna is talking to Arjuna and saying that he will share some of his amazing qualities and glories. But, he notes that he can only mention a few because there are just too many to explain all at once. Krishna's greatness is so vast that it's beyond what anyone can really grasp fully. Imagine trying to understand how big the ocean is - it's just too immense to take in all at once.

When devotees, or those who admire and love Krishna, try to talk about Him, they do so knowing they won’t get every detail. They understand that recognizing and talking about Krishna brings them joy, just like how discussing a favorite movie or book can make us feel happy. The stories and characteristics of Krishna feel like nectar, which means they're sweet and delightful to hear about.

Krishna is aware that people can't completely understand the full extent of his greatness or his wonderful actions. That’s why he decides to share only the most important aspects of his nature—not everything but just the highlights.

The word 'pradhanyatah' here means 'main' or 'principal.' It's a reminder that while Krishna has many qualities, we can only wrap our minds around a few of the most significant ones at a time. This is like how we might learn about a famous person—we can only study their biggest accomplishments rather than every single detail of their life.

Krishna's splendor is described as 'vibhuti,' which refers to his extraordinary qualities that show how he manages everything in the universe. When we look at nature, human abilities, or even art, these can all reflect part of the greatness of Krishna. He suggests that by focusing only on these few prominent qualities, we can still appreciate and understand his divine nature to some degree.
