Arjuna said.
Out of compassion for Me, You have personally revealed the most profound mystery concerning the jivatman; thereby this delusion of mine is completely dispelled.(1)
Indeed, I have heard in great detail about the origination and dissolution of all beings, OKrishna (Lotus-eyed-one), as issuing forth from You; as also about Your inexhaustible
excellence(2)

O Supreme Lord, I long to actually see Your Sovereign form, exactly as You Yourself have described it, O Supreme-person(3).If you consider, O Lord, that I am capable, then reveal Yourself completely to me, O Lord of Yoga in that imperishable form(4)

Behold My forms, O Arjuna (Partha), hundreds upon thousands of them, manifold, divine, varied in hue and shape. (5)Behold the Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the two Ashvins and the Maruts. Behold, O Arjuna,many marvels never seen before. (6)

Behold here, O Arjuna (Conqueror-of-sleep), the whole universe with its mobile and immobile things centered in My body and whatever else you desire to see.(7)But you will not be able to see Me with your physical eye. I (therefore) give you grant you divine sight — behold My Sovereign Glory!(8)

Having spoken thus, O King, Sri Krishna, the great Lord of Yoga, then revealed to Arjuna the supreme Sovereign Form.

With innumerable mouths and eyes, many astonishing aspects, many divine ornaments and brandishing many divine weapons(10). Wearing celestial garlands and raiment, anointed with divine perfumes, full of all wonders, resplendent, boundless and facing all directions(11).

If hundreds of thousands of suns rose up at once into the sky, they might [perhaps] resemble the radiance of the great being(Supreme Person Shri Krishna) in that universal form.

There [in that form] Arjuna beheld the entire universe, with its manifold divisions gathered together in one single point within the body of the God of gods.

Then, Arjuna struck with wonder and with his hair standing on ends, bowed down his head to the Lord, and with hands folded spoke;
Arjuna said:
I see devas(deities) in your body, O Lord, and especially the multitude of beings and also Shiva on Brahma‟s lap settled on the lotus seat, seers as well as all the divine nagas.

With manifold arms, torsos, mouths, and eyes, I behold Your infinite form on all sides. I see no end, nor middle nor yet the beginning of Your universal form, O Lord of the universe.

I behold You with crown, mace and discus, as an expanse of light radiating everywhere,hard to look at, blazing like a burning fire and the sun, and immeasurable.

You are the Imperishable, Supreme One to be realised. You are the Supreme Substratum of this universe. You are immutable; the Guardian of the Eternal Law (Dharma), I know You are the Eternal Supreme Being.

I behold You without beginning, middle and end. Your creative potency is infinite and You are endowed with a countless number of arms. The sun and moon are Your eyes and Your mouth is emitting blazing fire and searing the entire universe with your radiance.

Space in all quarters of skies and earth is filled by you alone. Beholding Your spectacular and awesome form, O Great soul, the three worlds are trembling.

There yonder, the hosts of devatas enter You and others frightened extol You with folded hands, entreat You, while the bands of great seers and perfected souls adore You with innumerable hymns saying 'Hail, Hail'.

The Rudras, the Adityas, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Vishvedevas, the Ashvins, the Maruts and the Manes, and the hosts of Gandharvas, Yakshas, Asuras, and Siddhas — all gaze upon You in amazement.

Seeing Your great form, with the multitude of mouths and eyes, with multitude of arms, thighs, and feet, with many torsos and dreadful with many fangs, the world O Mighty armed, trembles and so do I.

On seeing You, O Vishnu, touching the highest Heaven, refulgent, multi-colored seeing this form of Yours, my innermost soul trembles in fright and I find myself neither stable nor peaceful.

Seeing Your mouths with awesome fangs and appearing like the fire of Cosmic Annihilation, I am completely disorientated and confused. Have mercy on me, O Lord of the Devas! O Abode of the universe!

All the sons of Dhrtarastra along with their allied kings, and Bhisma, Drona and Karna, and all our soldiers are rushing into Your mouths with terrible fangs, some caught between the teeth, are seen with their heads crushed to powder

As moths rush irresistibly into a blazing fire to perish, so do these creatures madly rush into Your mouths only to perish.

As moths rush irresistibly into a blazing fire to perish, so do these creatures madly rush into Your mouths to only to perish.

O Vishnu! Devouring all the worlds on every side with your flaming mouths, You lick them up. Your brilliant rays scorch the whole universe, filling it with their radiance.

O Fearsome One! Tell me who You are ! Salutations to You, O Supreme God. Be gracious, I desire to know You, the Original One. I do not comprehend Your activity.

The Blessed Lord said:
Time I am , the mighty force which destroys everything, fully Manifesting Myself, I am here engaged in destroying the worlds. Even without you, none of the warriors arrayed in the enemy ranks shall survive.

Therefore, you arise and gain glory; conquering the enemies, enjoy the prosperous empire. By Me alone are all these slain already. You become merely the instrument, O Arjuna. Drona, Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karna and other warriors are already slain. Do not be distressed. Fight and you shall conquer the enemies in battle.

Sanjaya said:
Having heard this speech of Sri Krishna, Arjuna [the crowned one] prostrated himself and trembling with awe, he bowed down again, and with cupped-palms, and trembling, he spoke to Krishna in a choked voice.

Arjuna said:
Rightly it is, O Krishna, that the world is delighted and rejoices in singing Your praise. The terrified demons (Rakshasas) flee in all directions, and all the hosts of the perfected ones (Siddhas) bow down to You.

And why should they not, O Mahātman, bow down to You who are Great One, being the first Creator, even of Brahma? O Infinite One, Lord of devatas, O You who have the universe for Your abode! You are the imperishable individual Self, the existent and the non-existent, and that which is beyond both.

You are the primal Lord, the ancient Person, the Supreme Abode of the universe, the knower and that which is to be known, the supreme Goal. By Your infinite form is this universe pervaded.

You are Vayu, Yama, Agni, Varuna the Moon, Prajapati and the great-grandsire; salutations, salutations unto You, a thousand times! Hail unto You again and yet again! salutations, salutations unto You!

[Arjuna said]
Obeisance from the front, obeisance from the rear and obeisance from all the sides as well. O Lord who is of endless prowess and of boundless glory, you envelop everything. Therefore You are, verily, everything.

Unaware of Your majesty, and either from negligence or affection, considering You to be a friend, whatever I have presumptuously said, addressing You as; O Krishna, O Yādava, O friend,
and for whatever disrespect I have shown to You in jest, while playing, resting while sitting or eating together, while alone or in the presence of others, O Achyuta— I implore Your forgiveness, for You are incomprehensible.

You are the father of this universe, of all mobile and stationary entities. You are its teacher and the one most worthy of reverence. There is none equal to You. How then could there be another greater than You in the three realms, O Being of unsurpassed glory?

Therefore, bowing down, prostrating myself, I beg Your pardon, O adorable Lord. As a father forebears with his son or a friend with his friend, it is proper, O Lord, that You, who are dear to me, should bear with me who am dear to You.
Alternate Translation
Therefore, bowing down and prostrating before You, O Adorable One, I seek your grace. Like a father to the son, friend to the friend, as lover to his beloved, you should bear with me.

O Lord! I am delighted that I have seen what has never been seen before, but my mind is overwhelmed with anxiety. Show me Your other form, O Lord of the gods! Be gracious, O Abode of the universe!
. I wish to see You ever as before, wearing a crown and holding a mace and discus in hand. Assume again that four-armed form, O Thousand-armed one, of Universal Form! 

By My grace, O Arjuna, this Supreme Manifestation, luminous, cosmic, infinite, primal,which has never seen before by anyone but you, has been revealed to you through My divine potency.
Neither through the study of the Vedas, nor by sacrifices, nor by recital of the Scriptures, nor by charity, nor by rituals, nor by strict austerities can I be realised in a manifestation like this in this mortal world by any one else but you, O Arjuna!

You need not fear any more, nor be perplexed by looking on this awesome manifestation of Mine. Free from fear and with a gladdened heart, behold again that other form of Mine.

Sanjaya said:
Having spoken thus to Arjuna, Sri Krishna revealed to him once more His own form. The Great-minded One, assuming again a benign form, reassured him who was terrified.

Arjuna said:
Having beheld the human and benign form of Yours, O Krishna, I have now become composed in mind and I am restored to my normal state.

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

Not through the Vedas, nor by austerities, nor by charity, nor by the performance of sacrifices(Yajna), can I be seen in such a form as You have seen Me.But by single-minded devotion, O Arjuna, it is possible to truly know, to see and to enter into Me, who am of this form, O harasser of foes!

Whosoever serves Me, regards Me as the highest and is devoted to Me, free from attachment and devoid of malice towards any creature, comes to Me, O Arjuna
