ऐसीं श्रीमुखौनि अक्षरें I निघती ना जंव एकसरें I तंव अविद्येचें आंधारें I जावोंचि लागे II 177 II
तीं अक्षरें नव्हतीं देखा I ब्रम्हसाम्राज्यदीपिका I अर्जुनालागीं चित्कळिका I उजळलिया श्रीकृष्णें II 178 II
मग दिव्यचक्षुप्रकाशु प्रगटला I तया ज्ञानदृष्टी फांटा फुटला I ययापरी दाविता जाहला I ऐश्वर्य आपुलें II 179 II
हे अवतार जे सकळ I ते जिये समुद्रींचे कां कल्लोळ I विश्व हें मृगजळ I जया रश्मीस्तव दिसे II 180 II
जिये अनादिभूमिके नीटे I चराचर हें चित्र उमटे I आपणपें श्रीवैकुंठें I दाविलें तया II 181 II
मागां बालपणीं येणें श्रीपती I जैं एक वेळ खादली होती माती I तैं कोपोनियां हातीं I यशोदा धरिला II 182 II
मग भेणें भेणें जैसें I मुखीं झाडा द्यावयाचेनि मिसें I चवदाही भुवनें सावकाशें I दाविलीं तिये II 183 II
ना तरी मधुवनीं ध्रुवासि केलें I जैसें कपोल शंखें शिवतलें I आणि वेदांचियेही मती ठेलें I तें लागला बोलों II 184 II
तैसा अनुग्रहो पैं राया I श्रीहरी केला धनंजया I आतां कवणेकडेही माया I ऐसी भाष नेणेचि तो II 185 II
एकसरें ऐश्वर्यतेजें पाहलें I तया चमत्काराचें एकार्णव जाहलें I चित्त समाजीं बुडोनि ठेलें I विस्मयाचिया II 186 II
जैसा आब्रम्ह पूर्णोदकीं I पव्हे मार्कंडेय एकाकी I तैसा विश्वरूपकौतुकीं I पार्थु लोळे II 187 II
म्हणे केवढे गगन एथ होतें I तें कवणें नेलें पां केउतें I तीं चराचरें महाभूतें I काय जाहलीं II 188 II
दिशांचे ठावही हारपले I अधोर्ध्व काय नेणों जाहले I चेइलिया स्वप्न तैसे गेले I लोकाकार II 189 II

तेथ ताटस्थ्या ताटस्थ पडिलें I टकासी टक लागलें I जैसें मोहनास्त्र घातलें I विचारजातां II 192 II
तैसा विस्मितु पाहे कोडें I तंव पुढां होतें चतुर्भुज रूपडें I तेंचि नानारूप चहुंकडे I मांडोना ठेलें II 193 II
जैसें वर्षाकाळींचें मेघौडें I कां महाप्रळयींचें तेज वाढे I तैसें आपणावीण कवणीकडे I नेदीचि उरों II 194 II
प्रथम स्वरूपसमाधान I पावोनि ठेला अर्जुन I सवेंचि उघडी लोचन I तंव विश्वरूप देखे II 195 II
इहींचि दोहीं डोळां I पाहावें विश्वरूपा सकळा I तो श्रीकृष्णें सोहळा I पुरविला ऐसा II 196 II

"As soon as Lord Krishna said this, suddenly the darkness of ignorance started dissolving. The magnificent and awe-inspiring manifestation of His divine nature and power stunned Arjun. Vishwaroop, the Divine Omnipotence and the ultimate truth of the universe is the ocean, His avatars, incarnations being the waves of this ocean, the physical world merely a mirage before the grand radiance of the divine opulence. Vishwaroop is the beginning-less canvas on which emerges the entire Creation. Lord Krishna revealed Himself as the transcendental all encompassing cosmic form to Arjun. In His childhood when young Lord Krishna ate mud, His foster mother, Yashoda went to Krishna and confronted Him. When Yashoda demanded that Krishna open his mouth. Upon looking inside, she was astonished to see not mud, but the entirety of the cosmic manifestation. She saw the fourteen bhuvanas, the sun, moon, and stars, the earth with its mountains and oceans, and all living creatures—including herself and the village of Vrindavan. When Supreme Lord Narayan touched Dhruva’s cheek with His conch, Dhruva attained transcendental KNOWLEDGE that even the Vedas find difficult to comprehend. Similarly enriched by the divine wisdom by Lord Krishna, Arjun transcended Maya. The unparalleled brilliance and radiance of Vishwaroop illuminated the entire cosmos. The miracle unfolding before his eyes engrossed Arjun in amazement. Just like even during the cosmic flood (pralay), while all other creatures and everything were destroyed, the Sage Markandeya, floating alone, is protected by his devotion, so privileged was Arjun to have witnessed Vishwaroop unfolding before his eyes. Arjun thought, the vast sky which was here, where did it go? Who took it away? Suddenly everything in Creation including the animate-inanimate and the 
Panchamahabhootas disappeared. The directions, above-below ceased. Just like the dream disappears when one wakes up, similarly the Creation lost its form. Just like when the sun rises, it's radiance makes the light of moon and stars fade from view, similarly Vishwaroop swallowed the entire realm of Creation. The mind lost its mindfulness. The intellect lost consciousness. The pull of the senses towards the gratification reversed and turned inwards. It is a state of being, not a lack of activity, not about being motionless or numb, but rather a highly receptive and aware state that is both tranquil and intensely present. One pointedness of the concentration perfected enabling profound insight and deeper spiritual experience. As if the thoughts are stalled by the use of Mohanastra, the weapon that entices the mind, creates delusion. Arjun's entire attention was captivated by something truly astonishing. Enthralled in amazement, completely absorbed by a feeling of overwhelming surprise and wonder he saw the "Chaturbhuja" (four-armed) Lord Krishna, manifesting in different forms all around everywhere. Lord Krishna didn't let anything except Vishwaroop to remain just like in the rainy season the rain clouds envelope the skies entire, or at the time of dissolution of the world, the end of a cosmic age, and the destruction of the Creation, its radiance swallows the world entire. Absorbed in the Self Realization Arjun felt contentment from within and then with the inner vision behold the Vishwaroop. Lord Krishna thus fulfilled the wish of His beloved devotee to behold the unparalleled, grand Vishwaroop."
