Explanation

Sanjaya begins describing the form, and the sentence runs on into the next verse. The repeated word aneka, many, is the key: countless mouths and eyes, countless wonders, ornaments and raised weapons. The form is not a larger human body but a multiplication of features beyond counting. Its many mouths and eyes suggest that the divine speaks through and sees through all beings. The raised weapons hint at the fearsome side that will soon come forward. The description is meant to overwhelm the listener as it overwhelmed Arjuna, piling detail upon detail.
