श्रीभगवानुवाच । सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम । देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ५२ ॥
śhrī-bhagavān uvācha su-durdarśham idaṁ rūpaṁ dṛiṣhṭavān asi yan mama devā apy asya rūpasya nityaṁ darśhana-kāṅkṣhiṇaḥ
Translation
The Blessed Lord said: This form of Mine that you have seen is very hard to see. Even the gods long constantly for a sight of it.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
श्रीभगवान बोले: मेरा यह रूप, जिसे तुमने देखा है, देखना अत्यंत कठिन है। देवता भी सदा इस रूप के दर्शन की आकांक्षा करते रहते हैं।
Commentary
Commentators disagree about which form Krishna means here: the cosmic form, or the gentle human form Arjun now sees. Many in the devotional tradition take it as the human form. On that reading, the gods long to see God as a close, personal presence, and Arjun has had that all along.
