In this second-to-last verse, Sanjaya moves from the words of Krishna to His divine form. He says that when he remembers the aty-adbhutam rupam (most wonderful form) of Hari (Krishna), he is filled with vismayo me mahan—great wonder and amazement. Again, he says hrishyami cha punah punah—I rejoice again and again. This refers to the Vishvarupa (Universal Form) that Krishna revealed in Chapter 11. For a Hindu, this verse represents the visual and mystical aspect of the Gita. The analysis reveals that the experience of the Divine is both intellectual (the words) and visionary (the form). Sanjaya is identifying that the sight of the Lord's universal power is so overwhelming that it defies description. This verse serves as a culmination of Sanjaya's experience; it proves that the Gita is a complete revelation of the Lord's glory. The name Hari means one who takes away (sins, sorrow, and illusion), which is appropriate here as Sanjaya's ego is completely taken away by the vision. Sanjaya's diagnosis proves that true spiritual vision leads to Vismaya—a sense of awe that silences the mind. This shloka provides a standard for spiritual realization. It encourages the individual to visualize the grandeur of the Divine in everything. It reinforces the idea that the Lord is not just a teacher but the very fabric of the universe. By repeating the joy (punah punah), Sanjaya shows that spiritual bliss is ever-expanding and never becomes stale. Thus, the Gita teaches that the ultimate vision is to see the Divine in all His forms. Therefore, the journey that started with Arjuna's sorrow in Chapter 1 concludes with Sanjaya's wonder in Chapter 18. This verse is a magnificent preparation for the final conclusion. In summary, Sanjaya's reflection on the Vishvarupa is a reminder of the infinite scale of the Divine, which puts all human problems into a tiny, manageable perspective. It is the final wow moment of the epic before the final declaration of victory.
