किरीटिनं गदिनं चक्रहस्त- मिच्छामि त्वां द्रष्टुमहं तथैव |
तेनैव रूपेण चतुर्भुजेन सहस्रबाहो भव विश्वमूर्ते ||46||

The Blessed Lord said: Out of compassion for you, O Arjuna, I have revealed My universal form through My divine power. It is an infinite, effulgent, and original form that no one has seen before.

  • Atmayogat: By divine power.
  • Tejomayam: Full of light.
  • Adyam: Primordial or original.

Arjuna’s desire to see Krishna’s four-armed form reflects the human need for an approachable aspect of divinity. It signifies a transition from awe and fear of the universal form to devotion and comfort in a familiar divine image.
