As Arjuna’s vision progresses, the divine grandeur grows fierce and terrific. The crown, disc, garlands, etc., true, had spread a rare beauty and charm. But now the same features spell fright and intimidation.

He sees unbounded hands holding powerful weapons. Ah, the form has sun and moon as its eyes. The radiance emanating from the face is setting the whole Universe ablaze.

True, Arjuna hankered to see the universal form, but now it frightens him. What a grave conflict!
