The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Sanjaya narrates the moment of revelation. 'Evam uktvā'—having spoken thus (evam uktvā). 'Tato rājan mahā-yogeśvaro hariḥ'—then (tataḥ), O King (rājan), the great Lord of Yoga (mahā-yogeśvaraḥ), Hari (hariḥ—Krishna). 'Darśayāmāsa pārthāya paramaṁ rūpam aiśvaram'—showed (darśayāmāsa) to Arjuna (pārthāya) the supreme (paramam) divine (aiśvaram) form (rūpam). This verse marks the actual moment of revelation: Krishna has granted divine vision and now reveals the cosmic form. Sanjaya returns to the frame narrative, reminding us that Dhritarashtra is hearing all this. The supreme divine form is being revealed—the most dramatic moment in the Gita.
