O King, as I remember the wonderful form of Lord Krsna, I am struck

with wonder more and more, and I rejoice again and again.

 

PURPORT

 

It appears that Sanjaya also, by the grace of Vyasa, could see the

universal form Krsna exhibited to Arjuna. It is, of course, said that

Lord Krsna had never exhibited such a form before. It was exhibited to

Arjuna only, yet some great devotees could also see the universal form

of Krsna when it was shown to Arjuna, and Vyasa was one of them. He is

one of the great devotees of the Lord, and he is considered to be a

powerful incarnation of Krsna. Vyasa disclosed this to his disciple

Sanjaya, who remembered that wonderful form of Krsna exhibited to

Arjuna and enjoyed it repeatedly.
