Arjuna said Having seen this Thy gentle human form, O Krishna, now I am composed and am restored to my own nature.

Arjuna said: Seeing this gentle human form of yours, Janardana, I have now become composed and returned to my natural state.

Arjuna speaks briefly, and with relief. Seeing Krishna's gentle human form, he has become sacetāḥ, collected in mind, and has returned to his normal condition. The word human (mānuṣa) is important: whatever the four-armed form may have been, Arjuna now sees the familiar figure of his friend and charioteer. His composure comes back once he can look at Krishna in a form he can relate to. The verse shows the value of the gentle, approachable form. The infinite revealed truth; the human form makes it possible to live with that truth.
