Having seen this fierce form of Mine, have no affliction or delusional notes. With fear gone and the mind pleasant, see again this (natural) form of Mine, that you yearned to see.
Chapter 11: Viśvarūpa-darśana-yoga: - Verse 49
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
How fortunate is Arjuna in that he has such a dear instructor in Krishna! Always a close friend, ready to fulfil his wish any time, Krishna ungrudgingly chose to be his charioteer. Though driving the horses, in time, he began to lead his master’s mind. Revealing readily one form after another, as Arjuna sought, he displays a fondness and dexterity, hard to find ever anywhere!
How well he consoles Arjuna: “Have no torment, shed all fear and delusion. My fierce form has served its purpose. Here now, look at My endearing, graceful and pleasing form!” Such reassuring and invigorating words, very rare to hear!
