The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Krishna comforts Arjuna and prepares to return to his original form. 'Mā te vyathā mā ca vimūḍha-bhāvo'—do not (mā) be distressed (vyathā) to you (te), do not (mā) be bewildered (vimūḍha-bhāvaḥ), and (ca). 'Dṛṣṭvā rūpaṁ ghoram īdṛṅ mama edyam'—having seen (dṛṣṭvā) this terrible (ghoram) form (rūpam) of Mine (mama), such (īdṛk). 'Vyapeta-bhīḥ prīta-manāḥ punas tvaṁ'—freed from fear (vyapeta-bhīḥ), with a pleased mind (prīta-manāḥ), again (punaḥ), you (tvam). 'Tadeva me rūpam idaṁ prapaśya'—behold (prapaśya) that (tad) indeed (eva) My (me) form (rūpam), this (idam). Krishna reassures Arjuna—do not be distressed or bewildered by the terrible cosmic form. With fear dispelled and a pleased mind, Arjuna should behold Krishna's original form again. This verse shows Krishna's compassion and prepares for his return to the familiar, accessible form.
