Bhagavad Gita 10.40

नान्तोऽस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परंतप।एष तूद्देशतः प्रोक्तो विभूतेर्विस्तरो मया॥

nānto'sti mama divyānāṃ vibhūtīnāṃ paraṃtapa |eṣa tūddeśataḥ prokto vibhūtervistaro mayā ||

There is no end to My divine glories, O Arjuna, but this is a brief statement by Me of the particulars of My divine glory.
