arjuna uvāca
paraṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma pavitraṃ paramaṃ bhavān |
puruṣaṃ śāśvataṃ divyam ādidevam ajaṃ vibhum || 12 ||
Arjuna said:
ahus-tvām ṛṣayaḥ sarve devārṣir-nāradas -tathā |
asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṃ caiva bravīṣi me || 13 ||

Translation

Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate, the supreme abode and purifier, the Absolute Truth and the eternal divine person.
All the Seers speak in this manner about you, the divine seer Narada as well as Asita, Devala, Vyasa and now even You Yourself also speak thus to Me

Purport

In 9 chapters Shri Krishna revealed the most subtle secrets to Arjuna about life and soul, Karya, Raj Yoga, creation, etc. In Chapters 7 till 9 Shri Krishna further explained his divine glories.

Now Arjuna realized, the one standing in front of him in human form Krishna is none other than the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the God himself.

He got overwhelmed with this realization and submits himself and sings the glories of Shri Krishna.
