# Bg. 10.32 > सर्गाणामादिरन्तश्च मध्यं चैवाहमर्जुन । > अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानां वादः प्रवदतामहम् ॥३२॥ ## Text > sargāṇām ādir antaś ca > madhyaṁ caivāham arjuna > adhyātma-vidyā vidyānāṁ > vādaḥ pravadatām aham ## Synonyms *sargāṇām*—of all creations; *ādiḥ*—beginning; *antaḥ*—end; *ca*—and; *madhyam*—middle; *ca*—also; *eva*—certainly; *aham*—I am; *arjuna*—O Arjuna; *adhyātma*-*vidyā*—spiritual knowledge; *vidyānām*—of all education; *vādaḥ*—natural conclusion; *pravadatām*—of arguments; *aham*—I am. ## Translation **Of all creations I am the beginning and the end and also the middle, O Arjuna. Of all sciences I am the spiritual science of the Self, and among logicians I am the conclusive truth.** ## Purport Among created manifestations, the total material elements are first created by Mahā-Viṣṇu and are annihilated by Lord Śiva. Brahmā is the secondary creator. All these created elements are different incarnations of the material qualities of the Supreme Lord; therefore He is the beginning, the middle and the end of all creation. Regarding the spiritual science of the Self, there are many literatures, such as the four *Vedas,* the *Vedānta-sūtra* and the *Purāṇas,* the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* and the *Gītā.* These are all representatives of Kṛṣṇa. Among logicians there are different stages of argument. The presentation of evidence is called *japa.* The attempt to defeat one another is called *vitaṇḍa,* and the final conclusion is called *vāda.* The conclusive truth, the end of all reasoning processes, is Kṛṣṇa.
