Madhvacharya's Dvaita Vedanta and translation of Sarvamoola containing Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahmasutra.

Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya

अर्जुन उवाच
अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः। कथमेतद् विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति ॥४॥

Arjuna asked:
Recent in time is your birth, and remote in antiquity was the birth of Vivasvan. How then am I to understand that you taught it in the beginning?

Arjuna is eager to gain additional understanding of the lord's greatness, which was previously proclaimed in verse 3.30.

"मयि सर्वाणि" इत्युक्तं तन्माहात्म्यमादितो ज्ञातुं पृच्छति - अपरमिति ॥४॥

It is already said - "In me dedicate all actions" (3.30). To understand the origin of that greatness, Arjuna inquires through "aparam" verse.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
