Arjuna said:
“O Janardana, after seeing this gentle human form of Yours, I have regained my composure and attained my natural state of mind.”
Arjuna expresses his response to witnessing Krishna’s gentle human form after having seen His cosmic universal form. He addresses Krishna as Janardana, which means “one who brings joy to the people” or “protector of all beings.”
Arjuna acknowledges that upon seeing Krishna’s gentle form, his mind has been restored to its normal state. The overwhelming impact of beholding the cosmic form caused him to feel fear and confusion. However, by witnessing Krishna’s human-like form, which is full of grace and compassion, Arjuna’s agitation subsides, and he regains his composure.
Arjuna uses the term “saṁvṛittaḥ” or composed, to describe his state of mind, indicating that his consciousness has returned to its usual condition. He recognizes that he is once again aligned with his natural disposition and mental equilibrium.
This verse signifies the power of Krishna’s manifestation in different forms and His ability to evoke various emotions and responses in His devotees. Krishna’s gentle human form serves as a source of solace and reassurance for Arjuna, allowing him to regain his inner balance and mental clarity.
