॥ Chapter 11, Shloka 47 ॥

श्रीभगवानुवाच |
मया प्रसन्नेन तवार्जुनेदं रूपं परं दर्शितमात्मयोगात् |
तेजोमयं विश्वमनन्तमाद्यं यन्मे त्वदन्येन न दृष्टपूर्वम् || ११.४७ ||

Summary Translation:

The Blessed Lord said: My dear Arjuna, being pleased with you, I have shown you, through My own internal potency (Atma-yoga), this supreme cosmic form within the material world. This form is full of splendor, universal, infinite, and original; no one before you has ever seen it.

Detailed Analysis:

Krishna identifies the 'Theoretic Causation of Divine Vision.' He begins with 'mayā prasannena'—by Me being pleased. This analysis focuses on the 'Theoretic Act' of 'darśhitam' (showing) the 'rūpaṁ paraṁ' (supreme form) through 'ātma-yogāt'—His own divine power. This detailed analysis reveals that Krishna defines this vision as 'tejo-mayaṁ' (full of splendor), 'viśhwam' (universal), 'anantam' (infinite), and 'ādyam' (original). This shloka provides a ' Framework for the Rarity of Revelation.' It teaches that such a vision is not earned by human effort alone but is a ' Gift' bestowed upon a surrendered soul. Krishna is telling Arjuna that 'The vision you see is the ' Archetype' of all that exists.' This is the ' Goal of the Grace-seeking Seeker,' where 'The Revelation' is 'Localized'.

The detailed analysis of 'Atma-yoga' is the 'Theoretic Description of Divine Will.' In our practical lives, we think we 'Discover' truth. Krishna is defining 'The Self' as the 'Revealer' who uses His own power to bridge the gap between the finite and the infinite. This shloka provides a 'Framework for Personal Uniqueness.' By saying 'No one before you has seen it,' Krishna is validating the ' Bond' between Him and Arjuna. Arjuna is defining 'Tejo-mayam' as the ' Light' that outshines thousands of suns. This verse is the ' Proof that the Vishvarupa is not a mental hallucination but a manifestation of Atma-shakti.' By calling it 'Adyam,' he covers the 'Primal Source' of the vision. This shloka is the 'Universal Manual for Gratitude,' forcing us to realize that 'To see God as He is requires the Lord's own pleasure'. This is the ' Goal of the Devoted Seeker,' where 'The Splendor' is 'Localized'.
