The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.

Texts 26-27: All the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with their allied kings, and Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa - and our chief soldiers also - are rushing into Your fearful mouths. And some I see trapped with heads smashed between Your teeth.
Text 28: As the many waves of the rivers flow into the ocean, so do all these great warriors enter blazing into Your mouths.
Text 29: I see all people rushing full speed into Your mouths, as moths dash to destruction in a blazing fire.
Text 30: O Viṣṇu, I see You devouring all people from all sides with Your flaming mouths. Covering all the universe with Your effulgence, You are manifest with terrible, scorching rays.

Text 36: Arjuna said: O master of the senses, the world becomes joyful upon hearing Your name, and thus everyone becomes attached to You. Although the perfected beings offer You their respectful homage, the demons are afraid, and they flee here and there. All this is rightly done.
kena nā he mahātmana, nāhi labe se śaraṇa,
tumi hao sarva garīyasī
brahmāra ādi kartā, tumi hao tār bhartā,
taba kīrti ati mahīyasī
he ananta deva īśa, tumi hao jagadīśa,
sadasad pare ye akṣara
tumi hao sei tattva, ke bujhibe se mahattva,
naha tumi bhoutika vā jaḍa
Text 37: O great one, greater even than Brahmā, You are the original creator. Why then should they not offer their respectful obeisances unto You? O limitless one, God of gods, refuge of the universe! You are the invincible source, the cause of all causes, transcendental to this material manifestation.
tumi ādi deva hao sakalera sādhya nao
purāṇa puruṣa sabā hate
jagatera yāhā kichu sambhava hayeche pichu
sthira ei jagata tomāte
tumi jāna sab prabhu sanātana tumi bibhu
tumi hao parama nidhāna
e viśva tomāra dvārā vyāpta hayeche sārā
ananta se tomāra bidhāna
Text 38: You are the original Personality of Godhead, the oldest, the ultimate sanctuary of this manifested cosmic world. You are the knower of everything, and You are all that is knowable. You are the supreme refuge, above the material modes. O limitless form! This whole cosmic manifestation is pervaded by You!
vāyu yama bahni candra sakalera tumi kendra
varuṇa ye tumi hao saba
tumi hao prajāpati prapitāmaha se ati
yāhā hay tomāra baibhava
sahasra se namaskār kari prabhu bār bār
tomāra caraṇe āmi dhari
punaḥ punaḥ namaskār bhūya bhūya bār bār
kṛpā dṛṣṭi kara he śrī-hari
Text 39: 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!
sammukhe paścāte taba sarvato praṇāme raba
namaskāra taba pādapadme
antaryāmī urukrama tumi vinā saba bhrama
prakāśita tumi nija chande
Text 40: Obeisances to You from the front, from behind and from all sides! O unbounded power, You are the master of limitless might! You are all-pervading, and thus You are everything!
māniyā tomāke sakhā pragalabha karechi vṛthā
he kṛṣṇa he yādav kata balechi
nā jāni ei mahimā āścarya se nāhi sīmā
sāmānyata tomāke bhebechi
parihās kari sakhā asatkāra yathā-tathā
se pramāda yā kichu balechi
vihāra śayyā āsane parokṣa bā sāmne
kṣama aparādh yā karechi
Texts 41-42: Thinking of You as my friend, I have rashly addressed You "O Kṛṣṇa," "O Yādava," "O my friend," not knowing Your glories. Please forgive whatever I may have done in madness or in love. I have dishonoured You many times, jesting as we relaxed, lay on the same bed, or sat or ate together, sometimes alone and sometimes in front of many friends. O infallible one, please excuse me for all those offences.
yata loka carācar tumi pīta se sabār
tumi pujya guru se pradhāna
samāna adhik taba anya keha asambhaba
apratima tomāra prabhāba
Text 43: You are the father of this complete cosmic manifestation, of the moving and the non-moving. You are its worshipable chief, the supreme spiritual master. No one is equal to You, nor can anyone be one with You. How then could there be anyone greater than You within the three worlds, O Lord of immeasurable power?
daṇḍavata namaskār kari āmi bār bār
he īśa, he pūjya jagate sabār
kṛpā taba bhikṣā cāi anyathā se gati nāi
pitā putre yathā vyavahāra
athavā sakhār sāthe priya ār ye priyāte
doṣ kṣamā hay se sarvadā
he deveśa jagannāth se samṛddha mor sāth
tuṣṭa hao tathā he bhūrīdā
Text 44: You are the Supreme Lord, to be worshiped by every living being. Thus I fall down to offer You my respectful obeisances and ask Your mercy. As a father tolerates the impudence of his son, a friend the impertinence of a friend, or a wife the familiarity of her partner, please tolerate the wrongs I may have done You.
Text 45: After seeing this universal form, which I have never seen before, I am gladdened, but at the same time my mind is disturbed with fear. Therefore please bestow Your grace upon me and reveal again Your form as the Personality of Godhead, O Lord of lords, O abode of the universe.
caturbhuja ye svarūp dekhibāre ye icchuk
saṅkha cakra gadā padma-dhārī
ye viṣṇu svarūp hate viśvarūpa e viśvete
hao se sahasra vāhudhārī
Text 46: O universal form, O thousand-armed Lord! I wish to see You in Your four-armed form, with helmeted head and with club, wheel, conch and lotus flower in Your hands. I long to see You in that form.
śrī-bhagavān kahilen:
tomāra prasanna lāgi he arjun āmi yogī
ei jaḍa viśvarūpa dekha
āmāra yoga prabhāve tāhā sei sasambhave
asambhav nāhi yār lekha
sei tejomaya vapu nā dekhila keha kabhu
tomāra sei prathama darśan
veda yajña kimbā dān ati paṭu adhyayan
asamartha sesaba varṇan
kimbā ugra tapobal kriya-kāṇḍa ye sakal
sādhya nāi erūpa darśane
he kuru pravīr śuna nā dekhibe tumi bhinna
āmāra ye rūpa tribhuvane
Text 47: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, happily have I shown you, by My internal potency, this supreme universal form within the material world. No one before you has ever seen this primal form, unlimited and full of glaring effulgence.
Text 48: O best of the Kuru warriors, no one before you has ever seen this universal form of Mine, for neither by studying the Vedas, nor by performing sacrifices, nor by charity, nor by pious activities, nor by severe penances can I be seen in this form in the material world.
diba nā tomāke vyathā bibhrama hayeche yathā
dekhi mor ei ghora rūp
chāḍa bhaya prīta hao punaḥ śānti prāpta hao
dekha mor ye nitya svarūp
Text 49: You have been perturbed and bewildered by seeing this horrible feature of Mine. Now let it be finished. My devotee, be free again from all disturbances. With a peaceful mind you can now see the form you desire.
sañjay kahilen:
se kathā baliyā hari arjunke lakṣya kari
vāsudev bhagavān punaḥ
nija caturbhuja rūp dekhāicha aparūp
pūrṇa brahma aprākṛta guṇa
tārpar nityarūp śrī-kṛṣṇera yei rūp
dvibhuja mūrati āvirbhāva
punarvāra hala souma svarūper ye māhātmya
āśvāsane phirila svabhāva
Text 50: Sañjaya said to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, having spoken thus to Arjuna, displayed His real four-armed form and at last showed His two-armed form, thus encouraging the fearful Arjuna.
arjun kahilen:
dekhiyā tomār ei manuṣya svarūp
he janārdan peyechi phiri mor rūp
saṁvṛtta hayechi āmi sacetā prakṛti
idanīṁ se citta sthira svābhābika gati
Text 51: When Arjuna thus saw Kṛṣṇa in His original form, he said: O Janārdana, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature.
śrī-bhagavān kahilen:
āmāra dvibhuja rūp durlabha darśan
tumi yā hericha āj haye ekman
brahmā śiv ādi dev se ākāṅkṣā kare
śuddha bhakta hay yārā bujhibāre pāre
Text 52: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, this form of Mine you are now seeing is very difficult to behold. Even the demigods are ever seeking the opportunity to see this form, which is so dear.
ved niṣṭhā jap tap kimbā dān puṇya
pūjā-pāṭh yata kichu dharma-patha anya
konaṭāi nahe yogya e rūpa dekhite
yadyapi se avatīrṇa āmi pṛthivīte
Text 53: The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am.
ananya-bhakti ye hay ekmātra kām
he arjun dekhibāre yogya mor dhām
sei se bujhite pāre tattve dekhibāre
nitya līlāte mor se praveś kare
Text 54: My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding.
āmāra santoṣa lāgi kara saba karma
nitya yukta mor bhakta se parama dharma
tār kona śatru nāi sarva-bhūta mājhe
sei mor śuddha bhakta thāke mor kāche
Text 55: My dear Arjuna, he who engages in My pure devotional service, free from the contaminations of fruitive activities and mental speculation, he who works for Me, who makes Me the supreme goal of his life, and who is friendly to every living being—he certainly comes to Me.
bhaktivedānta kahe śrī-gītāra gān
śune yadi śuddha bhakta kṛṣṇagata-prāṇ
Thus Bhaktivedānta sings the song of Śrī Gītā, with the hope that hearing this, Kṛṣṇa conscious pure devotees will be pleased.
