Chapter 18: Moksha-sannyasa-yoga: / Verse 77

Sanjaya’s effusion for what he saw and heard continues. He says, the wonderful form of Lord Hari comes to his mind again and again and he rejoices over it. It is an exquisitely rare wonderment, the like of which cannot be thought of.

Sanjaya must be referring to the Vishvarupa Krishna revealed to Arjuna. Dream is individualistic. All the sights and sounds perceived in it are inner creations of the Consciousness animating and activating the body. In Kurukshetra, Krishna induced the dream-like vision into Arjuna. Though the Cosmic Form frightened Arjuna, it served the purpose of enlightening him about the indispensable nature of the impending war and his role in it. How well did Krishna fulfil Arjuna’s desire, thereby enlightening him about the inevitable war! It was a visual demonstration of what was going to transpire. Vyasadeva’s grace empowered Sanjaya also to see the unparalleled Form.
