B.G 10.42
athavā bahunā etena kiṁ jñātena tavārjuna। viṣṭabhya aham idaṁ kṛtsnaṁ ekāṁśena sthito jagat ॥42॥
I stand sustaining this entire universe with just one part of Myself. But O well honoured Arjuna, what need is there for all this detailed knowledge for you?
Gīta Tātparya 10.42
The phrase “what is the use of knowing” indicates that what is about to be stated yields greater fruit.
"kiṁ jñātena" iti vakṣyamāṇasya adhikaphalatva-jñāpakam eva। anyathā ukteḥ eva vaiyarthyāt॥
The phrase “what is the use of knowing” indicates that what is about to be stated yields greater fruit; otherwise, the earlier statement would be rendered pointless.
anyādhikya-jñāpanārthaṁ śubhaṁ cākṣipyate kvacit। na tāvat asya nindyatvaṁ jñeyaiva anyavariṣṭhatā। ubhayaṁ militaṁ caiva tato'py adhikaśobhanam॥
"Sometimes a good thing is criticized merely to highlight the superiority of something else. This does not make the first thing blameworthy — it simply reveals the greater excellence of the other. And when both are combined, the result is even more splendid."

- such are the sayings.
iti śrīmad-ānanda-tīrtha-bhagavatpādācārya-viracite śrī-bhagavad-gītā-tātparya-nirṇaye daśamo'dhyāyaḥ॥
Thus ends the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā Tātparya Nirṇaya composed by the revered Ācārya Śrīmad Ānanda Tīrtha Bhagavatpāda.
oṁ tatsad iti śrīmad-bhagavad-gītāsu upaniṣatsu brahmavidyāyāṁ yogaśāstre śrīkṛṣṇārjuna-saṁvāde vibhūti-yogo nāma daśamo'dhyāyaḥ॥
Thus ends the tenth chapter, entitled “The Yoga of Divine Glories,” in the glorious Bhagavad Gītā, which is an Upaniṣad, a scripture on the knowledge of Brahman, and the science of yoga, in the dialogue between Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna.
