Ch 11 : Sh 52

श्रीभगवान उवाच
सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम।
देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः॥

Transliteration

śrī bhagavān uvāca
sudurdarśam idaṃ rūpaṃ dṛṣṭavān asi yan mama |
devā apy asya rūpasya nityam darśana-kāṅkṣaṇaḥ || 52 ||

Translation

It is extremely difficult to behold this manifestation of Mine which you have seen. Even the gods ever long to behold this manifestation.

Purport

Bhagvan Krishna now returns back to his human form as he incarnated as the son of Vasudeva and Devaki. But He(Shri Krishna) explained to Arjuna, the universal form he just saw is extremely rare and not been seen even by deities
