भगवद गीता का दसवां अध्याय विभूतियोग है। इस अध्याय में, कृष्ण स्वयं को सभी कारणों के कारण बताते हैं। अर्जुन की भक्ति को बढ़ाने के लिए वे अपने विभिन्न अवतारों और प्रतिष्ठानों का वर्णन करते हैं। अर्जुन पूरी तरह से भगवान के सर्वोच्च पद से आश्वस्त हैं और उन्हें सर्वोच्च व्यक्तित्व के रूप में घोषित करते हैं। वे कृष्ण से प्रार्थना करते हैं कि वे अपनी अन्य दिव्य महिमाओं के बारेमे बताएं जो कि सुनने में अमृत सामान हैं।
