“The supreme divine personality, Lord Krishna, said: By My grace, O Arjuna, this divine form, which is resplendent, universal, and eternal, has been revealed to you through the power of self-realization. It is a form adorned with divine radiance and has never been seen before by anyone other than yourself.”
Commentary
In response to Arjuna’s request to see Krishna’s divine form, Lord Krishna, the supreme divine personality, acknowledges that He has revealed His extraordinary and transcendental form due to Arjuna’s favorable disposition and his grace. Krishna affirms that through the practice of self-realization and the unfolding of spiritual insight, He has blessed Arjuna with the vision of His supreme and divine form.
Krishna describes his revealed form as “tejomayam” (resplendent), signifying its radiant and luminous nature. He emphasizes that this form is not limited to a particular time or place but is all-pervading, encompassing the entire universe. It is the original and primordial form that existed before all creation, representing the infinite and eternal nature of Krishna’s divine being.
Krishna emphasizes that this form of His has never been witnessed by anyone else in the past. Arjuna is the privileged recipient of this divine revelation, and Krishna highlights the exclusivity of this vision. It underscores the extraordinary nature of the divine experience that Arjuna is granted, making it a unique and unparalleled event in history.
Through this verse, Lord Krishna confirms Arjuna that His divine form has been revealed to him as a special grace and blessing.
