BG 11.23: Commentary by Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Arjuna, on seeing further the ever expanding Universal form he so much cherished to see, however, feels frightened. What he sees is ineffably stupefying. It is such as to unleash untold fear in anyone. It is terrific, unnerving, no more wonderful and admirable!
It has countless hands, feet and thighs, numerous overwhelming bellies too. The teeth protruding from the mouth are beyond count. What except inexpressible fright can such a sight instil? Arjuna says, the entire worlds stand frightened, including himself!
