किरीटिनं गदिनं चक्रिणं च

तेजोराशिं सर्वतो दीप्तिमन्तम् ।

पश्यामि त्वां दुर्निरीक्ष्यं समन्ताद्

दीप्तानलार्कद्युतिमप्रमेयम् ॥

I see Thee with the diadem, the club and the discus, a mass of radiance shining everywhere, very hard to look at, blazing all round like burning fire and the sun, and immeasurable.

Explication

Within the boundless form, Arjuna recognises familiar signs: the crown, the mace and the discus, emblems traditionally associated with Vishnu. These details anchor the vision in something he knows. Yet they are set within a mass of light so intense that it is hard to look at, blazing like fire and sun together and impossible to measure. The verse shows the two sides of the vision at once: a recognisable divine figure, and a radiance that overwhelms recognition. Arjuna is beginning to feel the strain of seeing what ordinary sight could not bear.
