Viswa roop aisa tha Bhagwan ka.
📜 Translation
English
One who has several mouths and eyes, with numerous marvellous sights, is adorned with many divine ornaments, has numerous weapons uplifted in the hands.
And the One who has divine garlands around His neck, who is wearing divine apparel, whose forehead and body is anointed with divine sandalwood paste, vermilion, such a Supreme Lord with marvellous and infinite forms and having faces everywhere was beheld by Arjun.
One in all and all in one is the glory of the Lord's essential nature. In this universal form of the Lord Arjun is viewing the entire cosmos. Innumerable beings, but at this time appearing as if a part of universal form. The eyes and mouths of all are appearing to be that of the Lord. These numerous forms on being united with the Lord are appearing to be unique and marvellous. The form of the Lord is divine and for this reason the ornaments worn by Him and the weapons and arms held by Him are all divine and heavenly! It is natural that in His nature there is nothing ordinary-
Divine garlands, divine raiments, divine perfume and anointments, to experience all these one requires divinity too. Undoubtedly, these cannot be a subject of the senses. For experiencing these the Lord in the beginning has talked about the divine vision. Till now, Arjun was seeing Shri Krishna sitting in front of him; but now 'viswatomukham' faces everywhere as if the entire universe is immersed in Him-
It is natural to feel wonder-struck. Krishna driving the horses of the chariot...so vast, so expansive, faces everywhere, so many eyes, divinity-astonishment is natural. The Blessed Lord had already indicated in the second chapter that someone sees with wonder, some describe with wonder and some hear with wonder (Gita 2./29). This is the same wonder.
