Arjuna continues his description of the Universal Form, noting its lack of beginning, middle, or end. He sees Kṛṣṇa as a Being of unlimited potency with countless arms. The sun and the moon appear as the Lord’s eyes, and His mouths are like blazing fires. This vision is not just visual; it is thermal. Arjuna can feel the heat of the Lord’s radiance scorching the entire universe. This imagery represents God as the source of all energy and heat. The ‘fire in the mouth’ symbolizes Time, which consumes everything it touches. The eyes as the sun and moon show that God is the light that reveals reality and the cooling force that maintains it. It is a portrait of the Absolute as a dynamic, living power that sustains and ultimately dissolves the cosmos. Arjuna is witnessing the ‘Grand Design’ in its rawest form. He realizes that the person he considered his friend is the very engine of the universe. The heat he feels is the intensity of the Divine Will, which is currently focused on the purification of the earth. It is a moment of total sensory and intellectual overload for the great warrior.
