Bhagavad Gita 10.38
nitir asmi jigisatam
maunam caivasmi guhyanam
jnanam jnanavatam aham (Bhagavad Gita 10.38)
Among punishments, I am the rod of chastisement, and of those who seek victory, I am morality. Of secret things I am silence, and of the wise I am wisdom.
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Of punishers Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the rod of chastisement, the force by which the unruly are controlled. Of those desirous for success against opponents, His vibhuti is diplomacy using the expedients of reconciliation, dissension, bribery and punishment. Of secrets with regard to esoteric and confidential matters His vibhuti is maunam or silence by maintaining nothing is revealed for verily the intention of one who keeps silent cannot be deciphered. Of the wise His vibhuti is wisdom.
