___________________

विद्यानाम्’ / ’vidyānām’ - विद्याओं में, ज्ञान की विधाओं में,

अध्याय 10, श्लोक 32,

सर्गाणामादिरन्तश्च मध्यं चैवाहमर्जुन ।
अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानां वादः प्रवदतामहम् ॥
--
(सर्गाणाम् आदिः अन्तः च मध्यं च एव अहम् अर्जुन ।
अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानाम् वादः प्रवदताम् अहम् ॥)
--
भावार्थ :
हे अर्जुन! सृष्टियों का आदि, अन्त तथा मध्य मैं ही, समस्त विद्याओं में अध्यात्मविद्या (जिससे आत्म-ज्ञान होता है), एवं अनेक और भिन्न-भिन्न मतों में से निश्चयात्मक आधारभूत निष्कर्ष भी मैं ही (हूँ) ।

’विद्यानाम्’ / ’vidyānām’ - among different streams of learning,

Chapter 10, śloka 32,

sargāṇāmādirantaśca 
madhyaṃ caivāhamarjuna |
adhyātmavidyā vidyānāṃ 
vādaḥ pravadatāmaham ||
--
(sargāṇām ādiḥ antaḥ ca 
madhyaṃ ca eva aham arjuna |
adhyātmavidyā vidyānām 
vādaḥ pravadatām aham ||)
--
Meaning :
O arjuna, among diverse manifold creations from the stand-point of all and every, infinite beings and their individual worlds, I AM the beginning, the middle and the end of all. I AM the sacred skill (adhyātmavidyā) that enlightens one about the spiritual nature of Self / Brahman / Reality.
--
Note :
The Creation and dissolution of a 'world' with reference to an individual is always either at the level of the 'personal', the 'collective' or  the 'Cosmic'. These three levels are again part / dimensions / expressions of a single entity 'Brahman' / 'Self'. Obviously, there are infinite creation / dissolution taking place every moment for all.
