Translator:
Tell me again in detail, O Krishna, of your yogic power and glory; for I am not satiated with what I have heard of your life-giving and nectar-like speech.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: Arjuna asks Krishna to speak again of his power and glory in detail, since he is never satisfied hearing this nectar-like speech, describing sustained appetite for this specific kind of understanding rather than a single satisfied inquiry.

In life: genuine, sustained curiosity about something that actually matters to you doesn't get fully satisfied by one explanation, it tends to want more, repeatedly.

Teaching: notice what topics genuinely produce this kind of sustained, renewable curiosity in you rather than a one-time satisfied box check, that pattern is a good indicator of what actually matters most to you.

10.18 विस्तरेण in detial? आत्मनः Thy? योगम् Yoga? विभूतिम् glory? च and? जनार्दन O Janardana? भूयः again? कथय tell? तृप्तिः contentment? हि for? श्रृण्वतः (of) hearing? न not? अस्ति is? मे of me? अमृतम् nectar.Commentary The Lord is called Janardana because all pray to Him for worldly success? prosperity and also salvation. Arjuna also prays to the Lord to explain His Yogic power and glory? for his salvation.Arjuna says to Lord Krishna Tell me in detail of Thy mysterious power (Yoga) and sovereignty (Aisvarya) and the various things to be meditated upon. Tell me again though You have described earlier in the seventh and the ninth chapters succinctly for there is no satiety in hearing Thy ambrosial speech or nectarlike conversation. However much of it I hear? I am not satisfied surely it is nectar of immortality for me.
