Explication

Arjuna affirms that everything Krishna has said about himself is true. He is not doubting. Yet he wants to see the aiśvara rūpa, the sovereign or godly form, the shape of the power he has heard described. The wish is natural: hearing and seeing are different ways of knowing, and someone who has been moved by an account longs to witness its subject. The verse is the hinge of the chapter. Everything that follows, the vision, the terror, the praise and the return to the familiar form, flows from this single request.
