By Me, well-pleased, pleasure being an attitude of favour toward you, this supreme form, the universal form, has been shown to you, O Arjuna, by My own yoga, by the power of My sovereignty: full of radiance, the universe, endless, primal, that which was at the beginning, that form of Mine has been seen before by no one other than you. That you have become fulfilled by the seeing of My form, He praises that.

The Blessed Lord spoke. This form of Mine, made of splendour, a mass of splendour, the universe, become the self of all, endless, free of end, the word 'endless' being by way of indication, free of beginning, middle, and end; the primal, the first of the whole that is other than Me; the form never seen before by any other than you; this I have shown to you, My devotee, by being gracious, by My discipline of self, by My joining with the being-of-true-resolve. The Lord says that, by all means other than undivided devotion, He, abiding as He truly is, cannot be seen.
