After witnessing the magnificent vision of the universe within Krishna’s divine form, Arjuna was filled with astonishment and a sense of awe. He experienced a profound state of wonder and his body reacted to it with goosebumps. In this state of amazement and reverence, Arjuna humbly bowed his head and offered his respects to the Lord.
Arjuna, recognizing the divine nature and supreme power of Krishna, expressed his reverence and submission by bowing his head. The act of bowing symbolizes surrender, humility, and acknowledgment of Krishna’s exalted position. By folding his hands in a gesture of respect, Arjuna displayed his willingness to receive instructions and guidance from the Lord.
With deep humility and reverence, Arjuna began to address Krishna, using the term “Devam,” which means “O Lord” or “Divine Being.” Arjuna, in a state of complete surrender, spoke with folded hands (Kritanjali), indicating his readiness to receive Krishna’s instructions.
This verse illustrates the profound impact that Krishna’s divine form had on Arjuna. It highlights Arjuna’s deep devotion and his recognition of Krishna as the Supreme Lord. Arjuna’s astonishment and reverence reflect his understanding of the divine nature of Krishna and the vastness of His manifestations.
