You are air, and You are the supreme controller! You are fire, You are water, and You are the moon! You are Brahmā, the first living creature, and You are the great-grandfather. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You a thousand times, and again and yet again!
Tu es l’air, le feu, l’eau et la lune. Tu es Brahmā, le premier être créé. Tu es l’aïeul, le maître suprême. C’est pourquoi je Te rends encore et encore, des milliers de fois, mon hommage respectueux !

The Lord is addressed here as air because the air is the most important representation of all the demigods, being all-pervasive. Arjuna also addresses Kṛṣṇa as the great-grandfather because He is the father of Brahmā, the first living creature in the universe.
Parce que l’air pénètre tout, il est la représentation la plus importante de tous les devas et désigne donc ici Kṛṣṇa. Arjuna appelle également Kṛṣṇa « l’aïeul », car Il est le père de Brahmā, le premier être créé dans l’univers matériel.
