Lord Krishna continues to describe the divine forms that Arjuna should behold. He mentions specific celestial beings and entities from various realms to emphasize the grandeur and diversity of his manifestations.
Krishna instructs Arjuna to behold the Adityas, who are the celestial deities associated with the sun. They represent different aspects of solar energy and divine radiance. The Vasus are a group of eight deities representing various natural elements, such as earth, water, fire, and wind. The Rudras refer to the forms of Lord Shiva, who embodies the aspects of destruction and transformation. The Ashwini Kumars are the divine twin physicians in Hindu mythology, known for their healing abilities. The Maruts are deities associated with powerful winds and thunder.
Krishna further states, “Bahuni yadrishṭapurvani pashya ashcharyani Bharata,” which means “Witness numerous other wonders never seen before, O Bharata!” Here, Krishna emphasizes that the forms he is revealing to Arjuna are extraordinary and filled with astonishing marvels. These wonders go beyond Arjuna’s previous experiences and stretch the boundaries of his perception.
By presenting these celestial beings and unknown wonders, Krishna demonstrates the vastness and diversity of the divine creation. It expands Arjuna’s understanding of the divine realm and deepens his appreciation for the awe-inspiring nature of the cosmos.
This verse aims to elevate Arjuna’s spiritual vision and broaden his perspective. Through the divine revelations, Krishna encourages Arjuna to develop a sense of wonder, reverence, and awe for the divine manifestations. It serves as a reminder of the infinite and wondrous nature of the Supreme Being and the vastness of the cosmic order.
By witnessing these divine forms and wonders, Arjuna is exposed to a higher reality beyond his ordinary perception. It allows him to recognize the divine presence in the various aspects of creation and cultivates a deeper connection with the divine.
