The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Arjuna responds to Krishna's return to his original form. 'Dṛṣṭvedaṁ mānuṣaṁ rūpaṁ tava saumyaṁ janārdana'—having seen (dṛṣṭvā) this (idam) gentle (saumyam) human (mānuṣam) form (rūpam) of Yours (tava), O Janardana (janārdana). 'Idānīm asmi saṁvṛttaḥ sa-cetāḥ prakṛtiṁ gataḥ'—now (idānīm), I am (asmi) returned to normal (saṁvṛttaḥ), with consciousness (sa-cetāḥ) restored, returned (gataḥ) to my original nature (prakṛtim). Arjuna expresses relief and gratitude—having seen Krishna's gentle, human form again, he is now returned to normal, with consciousness restored, back to his original nature. This verse shows Arjuna's recovery from the overwhelming cosmic vision and his return to a state where he can relate to Krishna normally. The cosmic vision has been completed, and now Arjuna can relate to Krishna in the familiar, accessible form.
