अनेकबाहूदरवक्त्रनेत्रं
पश्यामि त्वां सर्वतोऽनन्तरूपम् ।
नान्तं न मध्यं न पुनस्तवादिं
पश्यामि विश्वेश्वर विश्वरूप ॥
aneka-bāhūdara-vaktra-netraṃ
paśyāmi tvāṃ sarvato’nanta-rūpam
nāntaṃ na madhyaṃ na punas-tavādiṃ
paśyāmi viśveśvara viśva-rūpa – 11.16
I see You with many hands, bellies, faces and eyes, as of infinite measure in every direction. I see no end, nor middle, nor beginning for You, O Lord of the Universe, O Universal Form itself!
Chapter 11: Viśvarūpa-darśana-yoga: – Revealing the Universal Form - Verse 16
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Arjuna’s vision becomes greatly amazing, divergent and intriguing. Anything immeasurable becomes infinite. What Arjuna sees has innumerable hands, many bellies, innumerable faces and eyes.
In any direction Arjuna looks, the sights go on swelling incredibly. Nowhere is he able to spot a beginning, end or middle at all.
And all this on Krishna, the Supreme. Krishna’s body cannot obviously be so extensive or widespread. He has, in addition, only the Self, the inward presence. All this is Its display alone! No physical control or limitation applies to the Self!
