भगवन् उवाच 

बहूनि मे व्यतीतानि जन्मनि तव च अर्जुन ।

तानि अहं वेद  सर्वाणि न त्वं वेत्थ परम् तप ।। श्लोक ५ 

The Lord said

Many births of Mine have passed, O Arjuna, and so is it with you also. I know them all while you do not know them.

 By this, the reality of the Lord's birth is declared in the sentence, "Many births of Mine have passed". "so is it with you also" is added by way of illustration. 2
