Explanation

The description continues with garlands, garments and fragrant ointments, the marks of a god honoured in worship. Then it widens: the form is made of every wonder, endless, facing everywhere. The phrase viśvatomukha, with faces on all sides, appeared in the previous chapter as one of Krishna's glories, and here it is seen. The mix of the ornamental and the infinite is striking. The form is adorned like an image in a temple yet has no limit and no back. The verse prepares for Sanjaya's attempt, in the next verse, to compare its brilliance to something human beings know.
