Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

But you will not be able to see Me with your own eyes. I give you a divine eye, so behold My Lordly Yoga!

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

But you cannot see Me with just this eye of yours; therefore, I give you the divine eye. Now, behold My divine form.

You will not be able to see Me, the bearer of the universal form, with this natural eye of yours, your own eye. But the divine eye by which you will be able to see, that divine eye I give to you. With it behold My sovereign yoga, the surpassing power of yoga of Me the Lord. Sañjaya said.

Viśiṣṭādvaita· Classical
Machine translation · draft

I shall show the whole world in a single region of My body; but you cannot, with this natural eye of yours, which grasps only a bounded and measured thing, see Me, of such a kind, of a kind unlike all else, beyond measure. I give you a divine, non-material eye, the means of seeing Me. See My lordly discipline, the discipline shared by no other than Me; see My discipline of endless knowledge and the rest, and My discipline of endless glory. This is the meaning.
