Gita : Ch-11. Slo-17.

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :

Chapter-11. (Visvarupa-darsana-yogam)

Slokam-17. (Your form, adorned with various crowns, clubs and discs, is difficult to see because of its glaring effulgence, which is fiery and immeasurable like the sun.)


kiritinam  gadinam  cakrinam  ca

tejorasim  sarvato  diptimantam,

pasyami  tvam  durnirikshyamsamantat

diptanalarkadyutimaprameyam.


kiritinam  gadinam = with (kiritam) head dress, (gada ) mace;

cakrinam  ca = (cakram) wheel, with all these things;

tejorasim = with great bright shining;

sarvatah  diptimantam = shining  everywhere;

durnirikshyam = difficult to see directly;

diptanalarkadyutim = with blazing fire and sun's shine;

aprameyam tvam = immeasurable, as you;

samantat pasyami = I see everywhere.


Bedecked with resplendent crowns, diadems, mace and disc illuminating all directions the Supreme Lord Krishna's visvarupa or universal form was so effulgent and dazzling with a radiant lustre so bright that it was unfathomable and thus impossible to determine it fully.


Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form was like a blazing fire, like a dazzling sun, an all illuminating radiant effulgence.

The word aprameyam denotes beyond compare.


Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form is specifically mentioned as being adorned with unlimited diadems, unlimited sceptres, unlimited flaming discs and unlimited accoutrements.

A beaming bright lustre in an effulgent mass of splendour.

The visvarupa has the radiance of blazing fire and dazzling sunlight making it difficult to gaze upon and impossible to discern its immeasurable appearance.


Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form was a mass of blazing radiant glory, dazzling the vision in all directions.

It had an effulgent brilliance that was more lustrous then the sun and was adorned with unlimited diadems, unlimited sceptres wielding unlimited cakras or discs. It was immeasurable and beyond any conception of imagination

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p...

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is...
