Explicación

Arjuna sees Krishna on every side, with countless arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, a form without limit. He looks for an edge, a centre or a starting point and finds none. The words echo the previous chapter, where Krishna declared himself the beginning, middle and end of beings; now Arjuna discovers that in the cosmic form these cannot even be located. He addresses Krishna as viśvarūpa, the one whose form is the universe, the term that gives this vision its usual name. The verse captures the vertigo of seeing something that has no outline.
