11.8
न तु मां शक्यसे द्रष्टुमनेनैव स्वचक्षुषा ।
दिव्यं ददामि ते चक्षुः पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ॥
na tu māṃ śakyase draṣṭum anenaiva svacakṣuṣā
divyaṃ dadāmi te cakṣuḥ paśya me yogam aiśvaram
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) is still speaking, to Arjuna (अर्जुन).
The verse
But you are not able to see me with this eye of your own; I give you a divine eye: see my lordly yoga.
नेपालीमा
तर तिमी यो आफ्नै आँखाले मलाई देख्न सक्दैनौ। म तिमीलाई दिव्य आँखा दिन्छु, मेरो ऐश्वर्य योग हेर।
Where it sits
The showing was not a harder look with the same eye. A different eye is given, and only then the imperative paśya (पश्य) returns. Sañjaya (सञ्जय) will take the next verse.
Split: न + तु + माम् + शक्यसे + द्रष्टुम् + अनेन + एव + स्व-चक्षुषा + दिव्यम् + ददामि + ते + चक्षुः + पश्य + मे + योगम् + ऐश्वरम्

The phrases
न तु माम् शक्यसे द्रष्टुम् अनेन एव स्व-चक्षुषा na tu mām śakyase draṣṭum anena eva sva-cakṣuṣā refuses the ordinary eye. You are not able to see me with this eye of your own. anena (अनेन) and sva-cakṣuṣā (स्व-चक्षुषा) are the same instrument, said twice.
divyam dadāmi te cakṣuḥ (दिव्यम् ददामि ते चक्षुः) is the gift. I give you a divine eye. This is the instrument 11.4 left in his judgment.
पश्य मे योगम् ऐश्वरम् paśya me yogam aiśvaram is what the new eye is for. See my lordly yoga. aiśvaram (ऐश्वरम्) is the same word he used for the form in 11.3.
Sanskrit in this line
śakyase (शक्यसे) is second person singular, and the infinitive draṣṭum (द्रष्टुम्) is what the ability is about. The passive stem is śakya (शक्य), from śak (शक्), and the ending --se (से) is "you." With na (न), the whole phrase is "you are not able to see." The person is in the verb. The instrument is in the instrumental sva-cakṣuṣā (स्व-चक्षुषा).
Say it back
Which eye cannot see, and which eye is given. If divyam cakṣuḥ (दिव्यम् चक्षुः) comes out as the same eye he already has, stay here.
