Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 11 - Shloka (Verse) 51

व्याख्या--'दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन'--आपके मनुष्यरूपमें प्रकट होकर लीला करनेवाले रूपको देखकर गायें, पशु-पक्षी, 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 कृपा-ही-कृपा है।
सम्बन्ध--अर्जुनकी कृतज्ञताका अनुमोदन करते हुए भगवान् कहते हैं --

अर्जुन बोला -- हे जनार्दन अब मैं अपने मित्रकी आकृतिमें आपके इस प्रसन्नमुख सौम्य मानुषरूपको देखकर सचेता यानी प्रसन्नचित्त हुआ हूँ और अपनी प्रकृतिको -- वास्तविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हुआ हूँ।,

Thus, being comforted by the Lord, Arjuna replied to Him – the (commentator) states this with 'Arjuna iti' (Arjuna said).

Arjuna spoke, having seen his desired form. O Janārdana (Destroyer of evil-doers), seeing this immediate, human (fit for humans), man-formed, my friend, gentle, pleasing form of yours, now I have become sacetāḥ (conscious/alert), joyful-minded, and have attained (gone to) prakṛti (my natural state).

By addressing Him as Janārdana (One who pains/destroys evil beings), he suggests that the fear generated by the vision of that (Universal Form) is now removed by the vision of the gentle form.

Then, having become fearless, Arjuna spoke -- 'Dṛṣṭvā' (Having seen) etc.

'Sacetāḥ' means undisturbed (calm-minded).

'Prakṛtiṃ gataḥ' means attained soundness (normal state).

'Saṃvṛtto' means I have become.

Arjuna said -- Seeing this form of yours, which is endowed with endless and surpassing beauty, tenderness, grace etc., which is Your own extraordinary form, situated in the human structure, and is extremely gentle, I have become sacetāḥ (conscious/alert-minded) and have attained my natural state (prakṛti).

Then, having become fearless, Arjuna spoke -- 'Dṛṣṭvā' (Having seen) etc.

'Sacetāḥ' (Conscious/calm-minded), joyful-minded, now I have become (saṃvṛttaḥ), I am born (jāto'smi). And I have attained prakṛti (natural state), i.e., soundness.

The rest is clear.

To remove the misconception that 'mānuṣaṃ rūpam' (human form) refers to a natural form generated by Karma, (Ramanuja) explains that by stating the sense intended by the word 'idam' (this), with 'anavadhikātiśayasaunḍarya' (endless surpassing beauty) etc.

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।

'Dṛṣṭvā' (Having seen) etc. After the withdrawal of all (forms), (He) grants the state of Brahman-essence which is of the supremely peaceful form – thus is the gentleness of the Lord (stated) in the conclusion (withdrawal).

Then, having become fearless, Arjuna spoke -- 'Dṛṣṭvā' (Having seen) etc.

Now I am sacetāḥ (conscious), i.e., I have become undisturbed in mind due to the absence of delusion caused by fear.

And I have attained prakṛti (natural state), i.e., soundness, due to the absence of distress caused by fear. The rest is clear.

Having seen the displayed form, Arjuna reports -- 'Dṛṣṭvā' (Having seen) etc.

O Janārdana (Destroyer of ignorance)! Seeing this human (fit to be seen by humans), gentle, pervaded by compassion (compassionate) form of yours, which is visible in front, now I have become sacetāḥ (conscious), alert-minded.

And I have attained prakṛti, i.e., the form of devotion.

O Janārdana! Seeing this human (fit for humans), my friend, pleasing, gentle form of yours, now, at this moment, I have become (saṃvṛttaḥ), I am born (saṃjātaḥ). What? I have become sacetāḥ (conscious), joyful-minded, and have attained prakṛti (my natural state).

The Blessed Lord said --

Then, being situated in his proper state (calm), Arjuna spoke -- 'Dṛṣṭvedam' (Seeing this) etc.

Seeing this gentle, human (fit for humans), form situated in the human structure, which is endowed with endless and surpassing beauty, tenderness, grace, virtuous conduct etc., and whose hands, feet, face, belly etc. are of the nature of pure eternal bliss, I have become sacetāḥ (conscious).

At that time (in the Universal Form), I was indeed vicetāḥ (unconscious) and amanāḥ (mindless), because of the scriptural statements: 'It is without hands and feet, formless, imperishable.'

But now I have attained prakṛti (my natural state).

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.

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.

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.
