Sanjaya said Having thus spoken, O king, the great Lord of Yoga, hari (Krishna), showed to Arjuna His supreme form as the Lord.

Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, O king, Hari, the great lord of yoga, then showed the son of Pritha his supreme sovereign form.

The voice changes. Sanjaya, the narrator, steps in to tell the blind king Dhritarashtra what happened next. Krishna, called here Hari and the great lord of yoga, revealed his supreme form to Arjuna. Sanjaya's narration at this point is significant: the vision is so overwhelming that it needs an outside witness to describe it. Sanjaya himself can see it through the gift of sight he received from Vyasa. The address O king also reminds the reader of Dhritarashtra listening, the father of the opposing princes, who is about to hear what awaits his sons.
