The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Arjuna continues describing the cosmic form's infinite and all-pervading nature. 'Anādi-madhyāntam ananta-vīryam'—without beginning (anādi), middle or end (madhyāntam), of infinite power (ananta-vīryam). 'Ananta-bāhuṁ śaśi-sūrya-netram'—with infinite arms (ananta-bāhum), with the sun (sūrya) and moon (śaśi) as eyes (netram). 'Paśyāmi tvāṁ dīpta-hutāśa-vaktraṁ'—I see (paśyāmi) You (tvām) with a blazing fire-like face (dīpta-hutāśa-vaktram). 'Svatejasā viśvam idaṁ tapantam'—by Your own radiance (svatejasā), heating/illuminating (tapantam) this entire universe (viśvam idam). Arjuna sees the cosmic form as infinite, all-powerful, with sun and moon as eyes, blazing like fire, and illuminating the entire universe by its own radiance. This verse shows the cosmic form's power to sustain and illuminate all creation.
