अर्जुन उवाच
दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तवसौम्यं जनार्दन।
इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः प्रकृतिं गतः।।11.51।।
।।11.51।।अर्जुन बोले -- हे जनार्दन आपके इस सौम्य मनुष्यरूपको देखकर मैं इस समय स्थिरचित्त हो गया हूँ और अपनी स्वाभाविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हो गया हूँ।
।।11.51।। अर्जुन ने कहा -- हे जनार्दन आपके इस सौम्य मनुष्य रूप को देखकर अब मैं शांतचित्त हुआ अपने स्वभाव को प्राप्त हो गया हूँ।।
।।11.51।। व्याख्या -- दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन -- आपके मनुष्यरूपमें प्रकट होकर लीला करनेवाले रूपको देखकर गायें? पशुपक्षी? वृक्ष? लताएँ आदि भी पुलकित हो जाती हैं (टिप्पणी प0 613)? ऐसे सौम्य द्विभुजरूपको देखकर मैं होशमें आ गया हूँ? मेरा चित्त स्थिर हो गया है -- इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः? विराट्रूपको देखकर जो मैं भयभीत हो गया था? वह सब भय अब मिट गया है? सब व्यथा चली गयी है और मैं अपनी वास्तविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हो गया हूँ -- प्रकृतिं गतः।यहाँ सचेताः कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि जब अर्जुनकी दृष्टि भगवान्की कृपाकी तरफ गयी? तब अर्जुनको होश आया और वे सोचने लगे कि कहाँ तो मैं और कहाँ भगवान्का विस्मयकारक विलक्षण विराट्रूप इसमें मेरी कोई योग्यता? अधिकारिता नहीं है। इसमें तो केवल भगवान्की कृपाहीकृपा है। सम्बन्ध -- अर्जुनकी कृतज्ञताका अनुमोदन करते हुए भगवान् कहते हैं --
।।11.51।। देशकालातीत वस्तु को ग्रहण तथा अनुभव करने के लिए आवश्यक पूर्व तैयारी के अभाव के कारण अकस्मात् समष्टि के इतने विशाल विराट् रूप को देखकर स्वाभाविक है कि अर्जुन भय और मोह से ग्रस्त हो गया था। परन्तु यहाँ वह स्वीकार करता है कि भगवान् के शान्त? सौम्य मनुष्य रूप को देखकर वह शान्तचित्त होकर अपने स्वभाव को प्राप्त हो गया है।अब भगवान् स्वयं ही ईश्वर की भक्ति का वर्णन अगले श्लोक में करते हैं।
11.51 Arjuna said O Janardana, having seen this serene human form of Yours, I have now become calm in mind and restored to my own nature.
11.51 Arjuna said Having seen this Thy gentle human form, O Krishna, now I am composed and am restored to my own nature.
11.51. Arjuna said On seeing this gentle human form of Yours, O Janardana, now I have regained my nature and have now collected my thinking faculty.
11.51 दृष्ट्वा having seen? इदम् this? मानुषम् human? रूपम् form? तव Thy? सौम्यम् gentle? जनार्दन O Krishna? इदानीम् now? अस्मि (I) am? संवृत्तः composed? सचेताः with mind? प्रकृतिम् to nature? गतः restored.Commentary Arjuna says to Lord Krishna O Lord? I now behold Thy human form. Now my thoughts are collected and I am serene. I can speak. My senses perform their proper functions. My fear has vanished. Thou hast treated me as a mother would treat her erring child whom she embraces and nurses. Just as the calf rejoices when it beholds its mother who was missing for some days? so also I rejoice now when I behold Thy gentle form. I have drunk the nectar. Now I am alive.
11.51 O Janardana, drstva, having seen; idam, this; saumyam, serene; manusam, human; rupam, form; tava, of Yours-gracious, as of my friend; asmi, I have; idanim, now; samvrttah, become;-what?-sacetah, calm in mind; and gatah, restored; prakrtim, to my own nature.
11.51 Drstva etc. At the end of the act of withdrawing all, the Brahman assumes the highly tranil stage of the tattva. Hence at the stage of withdrawl, gentleness is in the Bhagavat.
11.51 Arjuna said Having beheld this pleasing and unie form of Yours, human in configuration, endowed with grace, tenderness, beauty etc., the excellence of which is infinite, I have now become composed, and I am restored to my normal nature.
Then Arjuna, seeing the sweet form of Krishna, bathing in an ocean of bliss, spoke. “O Janardana, now I have regained my consciousness (sa-cetah samvrttah), and have gained composure (prakrtim gatah).”
Thus being consoled by Lord Krishna and free from agitation and fear, Arjuna states that he has recovered from his despair and is once again self- composed, serene and clear.
Since the Supreme Lord Krishna had exhibited His original two-armed form it is said that He has taken a human form but it should be understood that the form of the Supreme Lord Krishna has a purely spiritual body which is completely transcendental to material nature being saccidannanda meaning sat or eternal existence, cit or unlimited consciousness and ananda or endless bliss.
After gazing again on Lord Krishna in human vestige looking extraordinarily phenomenal with four-arms and then again as a countenance of beauty with two arms lovely to envision with tenderness, grace, majesty and naturalness all sublimely expressing themselves ensemble and marvellous to behold. Seeing Lord Krishnas human form so enchanting and delightful Arjunas mind was restored to its natural tranquillity and he became placated.
