Arjuna describes the overwhelming brightness of the Universal Form. Even in this chaotic explosion of limbs, he spots the traditional symbols of Viṣṇu: the crown, the mace, and the disc. But they are not small handheld items; they are glowing with a light so fierce that Arjuna finds the form ‘durnirīkṣyam’—almost impossible to look at directly. The light is a ‘Tejo-rāśi’—a literal mountain of effulgence. It is like looking at a thousand suns and a blazing cosmic fire simultaneously. This suggests that God’s majestic aspect is ‘Aprameyam’ or immeasurable. The human retina and the human mind are simply not designed to process the raw power of the Absolute without divine intervention. This verse captures the transition from curiosity to overwhelmed awe. Arjuna requested to see the form, but now that it is before him, its sheer power is blinding. He realizes that the ‘friendly’ Kṛṣṇa he knew is the source of an energy that makes the sun look like a candle. It is a humbling moment of cosmic realization.
