Explanation
Sanjaya also remembers the astonishing form of Hari, a name of Krishna, that he witnessed, most likely the universal form shown in an earlier chapter. Recalling it again and again, he is filled with great amazement and rejoices repeatedly. The verse joins memory of the teaching with memory of the vision. Both the words and the revelation leave a lasting impression, and Sanjaya's response models the reverent wonder the Gita hopes to inspire.
