The yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form. Visvarupa Darsana Yoga.
Arjuna says'
The supreme profound discourse concerning the soul has dispelled my delusion by thy grace. But I desire to see thy divine form O Supreme Person.
The Lord says'
Behold my forms O Partha by hundreds and thousands - manifold and divine and of varied hues and shapes. behold the Asvins and also the Maruts. Behold many marvels never seen before. Behold here today O Arjuna the whole universe with the moving and the non moving, and whatever else thou desirest to see. all concentrated in my person. But thou canst not behold with this thy eyes I shall give you the divine eye to see.and behold my sovereign power having many faces and eyes, presenting many a wondrous spectacle, decked with many divine ornaments and bearing many a heavenly weapons.
Arjuna says in wonderment
in thy body O God! I see all the gods and all the varied hosts of being and Brahma the Lord on his Lotus throne. all the rishis and heavenly Nagas.
I behold thee as one with no beginning middle nor end with infint arms and infinite strength. with the sun and moon as thy eyes, thy face shining as a flaming fire, and with thy radiance consuming all of the universe. I see all the sons of Dhrtarastra together with the hosts of kings and also Bhisma, Drona and Karna here and the leading warriors on our side as well. I see some already slain and crushed to powder.
The Lord says Therefore arise and win renown; subdue thy foes and enjoy a prosperous kingdom. by me they have been slain already. Be thou only an instrument. O dexterous Arjuna.
Arjuna says
Thou art the first of Gods, the Primal person. Thou the supreme treasurer of the world. thou art the knower and that which is to be known, and the supreme abode and by thee is this universe pervaded. O thou of infinite form I rejoice that I have seen what was never seen before, but my mind is also distracted with fear. Show me that other form of thine and be gracious O Lord of Gods, abode of the world, I wish to see thee as before with thy crown and Thy Mace and with Thy disc in hand. Assume again thy four armed shape, O thou of a thousand arms and of endless shapes.
Krishna showed him again His own form. the mighty one assumed the graceful shape again, soothing the a frighted Arjuna.
The Bhagavan said: Neither by the Vedas nor by austerity nor by alms giving, nor yet by sacrifice can I be seen in the form in which thou hast seen me now. But by devotion to me alone may I thus be known, truly seen and entered into O Arjuna. He who does my work and looks upon me as his goal, he who worships me without attachment, and who is without hatred towards any creature - he comes to me O! Pandava.
