The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Arjuna begins to praise Krishna, acknowledging his universal impact. 'Sthāne hṛṣīkeśa tava prakīrtyā'—rightly (sthāne), O Krishna (hṛṣīkeśa), by Your praise (tava prakīrtyā). 'Jagat prahṛṣyaty anurajyate ca'—the world (jagat) rejoices (prahṛṣyati), and (ca) becomes attracted (anurajyate). 'Rakṣāṁsi bhītāni diśo dravanti'—demons (rakṣāṁsi), frightened (bhītāni), flee (dravanti) in all directions (diśaḥ). 'Sarve namasyanti ca siddha-saṅghāḥ'—all (sarve) hosts of perfected beings (siddha-saṅghāḥ) bow (namasyanti), and (ca). Arjuna acknowledges Krishna's universal impact: the world rejoices at his praise, demons flee in fear, and perfected beings bow. This verse shows Arjuna beginning to understand and appreciate Krishna's cosmic nature, even while still being overwhelmed by it.
