Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 11, Verse 50

Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga

सञ्जय उवाच । इत्यर्जुनं वासुदेवस्तथोक्त्वा स्वकं रूपं दर्शयामास भूयः । आश्वासयामास च भीतमेनं भूत्वा पुनः सौम्यवपुर्महात्मा ॥ ५० ॥

sañjaya uvācha ity arjunaṁ vāsudevas tathoktvā svakaṁ rūpaṁ darśhayām āsa bhūyaḥ āśhvāsayām āsa cha bhītam enaṁ bhūtvā punaḥ saumya-vapur mahātmā

Translation

Sanjay said: Having spoken thus to Arjun, Vasudev showed his own form again, and, taking once more a gentle form, the great soul comforted the frightened Arjun.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

संजय बोले: अर्जुन से ऐसा कहकर वासुदेव ने फिर अपना रूप दिखाया, और महात्मा ने पुनः सौम्य रूप धारण करके भयभीत अर्जुन को आश्वस्त किया।

Commentary

Many commentators read two steps here: Krishna first shows his own (svakam) four-armed form, as Arjun asked, and then returns to his gentle (saumya) two-armed human form. Either way, the chapter ends not in terror but in reassurance.
