TRANSLATION

 

Sanjaya said to Dhrtarastra: O King, after hearing these words from

the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the trembling Arjuna offered

obeisances with folded hands again and again. He fearfully spoke to

Lord Krsna in a faltering voice, as follows.

 

PURPORT

 

As we have already explained, because of the situation created by the

universal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Arjuna became

bewildered in wonder; thus he began to offer his respectful obeisances

to Krsna again and again, and with faltering voice he began to pray,

not as a friend, but as a devotee in wonder.
