Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 11, Verse 3

Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga

एवमेतद्यथात्थ त्वमात्मानं परमेश्वर । द्रष्टुमिच्छामि ते रूपमैश्वरं पुरुषोत्तम ॥ ३ ॥

evam etad yathāttha tvam ātmānaṁ parameśhvara draṣhṭum ichchhāmi te rūpam aiśhwaraṁ puruṣhottama

Translation

O Supreme Lord, You are exactly as You have described Yourself. Yet, O greatest of persons, I long to see Your divine, sovereign form.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

हे परमेश्वर! आप अपने को जैसा बताते हैं, आप ठीक वैसे ही हैं। फिर भी हे पुरुषोत्तम! मैं आपके उस ऐश्वर्यमय रूप को देखना चाहता हूँ।

Commentary

This verse holds the request that shapes the whole chapter. Arjun does not doubt Krishna; he accepts every word. But believing something and seeing it are different, and he asks for the second. The word aishvaram points to Krishna's form as the lord and ruler of all, not the charioteer in front of him.
