Verse 18
The Yoga of Divine Glories
Tell me again in detail, O Janardana, of Your mystic power and glories, for I never tire of hearing Your nectar-like words.
Context & Meaning
Arjuna calls Krishna's words amṛtam — nectar, the drink of immortality. He cannot get enough. This is the sign of genuine spiritual thirst: hearing the truth about the Divine does not satisfy the craving — it deepens it. Each word about the Supreme opens a greater hunger for the next.

DvaitaAmṛtam — nectar of immortality — is how Arjuna experiences the words of the Lord. The devotee's experience of divine discourse is not intellectual exercise but nourishment for the soul. Sacred speech heard with love becomes literally life-giving.
