श्रीभगवानुवाच
मया प्रसन्नेन तवार्जुनेदं
रूपं परं दर्शितमात्मयोगात्
तेजोमयं विश्वमनन्तमाद्यं
यन्मे त्वदन्येन न दृष्टपूर्वम्
॥ 11.47 ॥
mayā prasannena tavārjunedaṃ
rūpaṃ paraṃ darśitamātmayogāt
tejomayaṃ viśvamanantamādyaṃ
yanme tvadanyena na dṛṣṭapūrvam
Translation
The Blessed Lord said: "O Arjuna, out of grace, by my own yogic power, I have shown you this supreme form — radiant, universal, infinite, primal — that form of mine which no one but you has seen before."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. prasādo nāma tvayi anugrahabuddhiḥ — grace means the intention to favour you; ātmayogāt ātmanaḥ aiśvaryasya sāmarthyāt; tvadanyena tvattaḥ anyena kenacit na dṛṣṭapūrvam.
Acharya Ramanuja. viśvaṃ sarvātmabhūtam — universal = the Self of all; prasannena mayā madbhaktāya te darśitam — out of grace I showed it to you, my devotee; ātmanaḥ satyasaṃkalpatvayogāt — through my own unfailing will.
