Gita Mahatmya

Mahābhārata, Bhīṣma-parva 43.2

These verses glorify the Bhagavad-gītā. They come from other scriptures and are not verses of the Bhagavad-gītā itself. Each one carries its own source.

1. Gītā-māhātmya

   सर्वशास्त्रमयी गीता सर्वदेवमयो हरिः ।
   सर्वतीर्थमयी गङ्गा सर्ववेदमयो मनुः ॥

   sarvaśāstramayī gītā sarvadevamayo hariḥ
   sarvatīrthamayī gaṅgā sarvavedamayo manuḥ

   The Gītā holds all the scriptures, just as Lord Hari holds all the devatās, the Gaṅgā holds all the holy places, and Manu holds all the Vedas.
