Arjuna said: Out of compassion, you have spoken to me the supreme secret of self-knowledge, and my delusion is now gone.
I have heard in detail from You about the origin and dissolution of beings, O Lotus-eyed Lord, and also of Your inexhaustible greatness.
O Supreme Lord, as You have declared Yourself to be, so You are. Yet, I desire to see Your divine form as the Cosmic Being.
If You think it is possible for me to behold Your universal form, O Lord, then please reveal it to me, O Master of Yoga.
The Blessed Lord said: Behold, O Arjuna, My hundreds and thousands of divine forms, of various colors and shapes.
Behold the Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Ashvins, and the Maruts; behold many wonders you have not seen before, O Bharata.
Behold the entire universe, both the moving and the unmoving, concentrated in one single body here, O Gudakesha, and whatever else you desire to see.
