(Now, Sanjaya says to Dhrutaraashtra):
Having said thus, the King of the Ascetics Hari (another name for Krishna, Vishn`u) showed Arjuna his
divine and Supreme form. (COSMIC VISION 9).
Several mouths. Eyes. Showing many Great things. The form is adorned with several divine ornaments. The form had different types of divine weapons. (COSMIC VISION 10).
Showed the Cosmic form, wearing divine garlands, body applied with divine sandalwood and other pates, wonderful in all respects, infinite and the face of the Universe. (COSMIC VISION 11).
The light which emerges if a thousand Suns shine at the same time, may equal the brilliance of this Great Spirit. (COSMIC VISION 12).
Arjuna in the mega body of the Supreme Spirit, saw as one integrated Universe all the countries of the land. (COSMIC VISION 13).
Then with stiffened hair and wonder, bowed down before Krishna and said with folded hands: (COSMIC VISION 14)

Arjuna said:
"In your body I see Oh God! the different groups of different Creatures, the Creator Brahma sitting on the Seat of the Lotus, divine Sages and Serpents." (COSMIC VISION 15).
Oh God of the Universe! Oh the Cosmic formed! I see you with several hands, bellies, faces, eyes, omnipresent, wearer of infinite forms. I am unable to see your beginning, middle or the end. (COSMIC VISION 16).
The Crowned! Holding mace! Holding the discus! Mass of Luminosity! all pervading Light! I see you, the most difficult to see! Having a brilliance equal to the Sun and the Fire! The dimensionless! (COSMIC VISION 17).
You are the Supreme Spirit to be learnt! You are the Greatest Refuge for this Universe! You are infinite! You are the Protector of the Eternal Righteous Ethics. You are the Eternal Preson. This is my view. (COSMIC VISION 18).
You have no beginning, middle and the end. Your strength is infinite. You have infinite arms. The Sun and the Moon are your eyes. I see the glowing fire emerging from your open mouth. With your luminosity, you will scorch the whole Universe. (COSMIC VISION 19).
Oh Great Soul! The Earth, the Sky, the Space are all full of your Great Glow. Your glow spread in all directions. Haiving seen your wonderful form, fiercely intense, the three worlds (Earth, Heaven, Nether World) get into strife. (COSMIC VISION 20).
All the groups of the Gods are entering you. Some of them are praising your glory, bewildered with folded hands.. Great Sages and Saints are praising your glories and seeing only you. (COSMIC VISION 21).
Groups of people (list: Rudras, Aadityas, Vasus, Saadhyaas, Vis`vas, As`vins, Maruts, Ushmapas (ancestors), Gamdharvas, Yakshas, Suras, Siddha) are looking at you with awe. (COSMIC VISION 22).
Oh Great We are freightened to see your form with countless faces, eyes, hands, thighs, tusks, (COSMIC VISION 23).
Oh Vishn`u! I do not get peace (freightened) and courage when I see you touching the sky!; luminous; multichrome, open mouthed, burning broad eyes. Having seen it, my soul gets perturbed. (COSMIC VISION 24).
Your face is fierce with fongs, and looking like the disastrous fire. When I see it, I am unable to identify directions (East, West etc. i.e. bewildered). I am not able to stay happy or comfortable. Oh Lord of the Gods! Protect me! Oh Omnipresent!. (COSMIC VISION 25).
Along with all the sons of Dhrutaraasht`ra, all the groups of kings, Bhishma, Dron`a, Karn`a, all the prominent warriors of my side, are entering you. (COSMIC VISION 26).
They are all in a hurry to enter your mouth which has sharp fangs at the entry. Some are caught between the teeth are seen getting their heads reduced into fine flour. (
(Comment: How loathing and ugly this description is)!
(COSMIC VISION 28)
Just as insects enter into flaring fires with great speed, the people are also entering into your faces with immense pace. (COSMIC VISION 29).
While devouring the world with all your flaring faces, you are enjoying on all the four sides. Your terrible lights are scprcjomg tje Universe with their luminosities. (COSMIC VISION 30).
Pl. tell me who you are, bearing this terrible form. I bow down before thee. Oh God of Gods! Kindly be pacified and save me. The foremost creator of this world, I desire to know you. I am unable to understand your true nature and behaviour. (COSMIC VISION 31).

The Lord said:
I am the Fate and Time which has flared up to annihilate this creation. I started destroying all these worlds this moment only.
(Comment: Why now! Krishna already killed 391 akshauhin`is of army approx. 80 million belonging to Jarasandha earlier This is only a small fry of 18 akshauhin`is not even 10% of what was already killed.)
(COSMIC VISION 32).
Oh Proficient Warrior of both hands! Hence, now pl. arise! By defeating foes, get fame! Enjoy vast kingdom. All your enemies have already been killed by me ahead of you. Become only an instrument! (COSMIC VISION 33).
Dron`a, Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karn`a, and all other warriors, already killed by me, now you kill. Do not get daghast. You will conquer your enemies in the battle. Hence fight! (COSMIC VISION 34).

(Sanjaya said:)
Hearing all these words of Kees`ava (Krishna) Kirit`i (Arjuna) bowed before with folded hands and shivering body Utterly freightened, he kneeled before Krishna again and said with gyrating voice: (COSMIC VISION 35).

Arjuna said. Oh Hrishii kees`aa! (Oh Krishna), By singing your glories, the world is getting immense pleasure. It is getting delighted. Demons are running and scattering in the four directions. The groups of sages are saluting you. All this is apt and befitting (COSMIC VISION 36).
Oh Great Soul! Oh Infinite! Oh Omnipresent! You are superior to the Creator (four headed God Brahma). You are the foremost cause for this Universe. You are the Supreme Spirit which is beyond both what is good and what is bad. Yet, why they do not salute you? (COSMIC VISION 37).
You are the First and Foremost God. You are the first and the ancient person. You are the chief refuge for the Universe at the time of disaster for merger. You are the thing to be known. You are the person knowing. You are the subject and the object. Oh dimensionless! This entire Universe is filled with you. (COSMIC VISION 38).
(Arjuna again and again kneels before Krishna).
The Wind! The Fire! The God of Rains! The Moon! The Lord of the People! You are the father of the Creator Brahma (Four headed Brahma). Hence, thousand salutes to you! Salutes again and again! (COSMIC VISION 39).
Oh Omni form! Salutes to you from from, behind and all sides. You are a person of infinite strength and valor. You are all pervading in the Universe. Hence you are Everything. (COSMIC VISION 40).
Unable to comprehend your cosmic form, I mistook you only to be an ordinary friend and hence called you "Oh Krishna! Oh Yaadava! Oh Friend!" in familiar equalised tone, though with love or accidentally. (COSMIC VISION 41).
I appeal to your forbearance and forgiveness. Oh Invincible! For fun or while playing picnicing, sleeping, sitting, eating, when alone or in the presence of relatives, I might have behaved with discourtesy towards you. You are the infinite spirit. (COSMIC VISION 42).
Oh person of Great Influene! You are the father of this Universe both static and dynamic. You are the worshipable. You are the Supreme Teacher. In the three worlds (earth, heaven, nether world), there is nobody who equals you. Then where is the question of superiors to you? (COSMIC VISION 43).
Hence, I kneel before you and pray for your grace. Just as a father forgives his son's faults, a friend forgives his pal's errors, a lover forgiives his beloved's lapses, please forgive my offenses. You are capable. (COSMIC VISION 44).
Oh Lord of Gods! Oh Omnipresent! Having seen the hitherto never seen cosmic form of yours, I am greatly delighted. Yet the same time, I am deeply perturbed with awe and fear. Kindly be pacified. Kindly revert to your old form and save me. (COSMIC VISION 45).
Just as in the past, I wish to see you with your crown, mace and discus. Oh thousand armed! Oh Manifestation of the Universe! Kindly take up your form of four arms.
(Comment: Thus, there are four forms 1. Two hands. 2. Four hands. 3. Thousand hands. 4. Infinite hands.)

Krishna said: Having been pleased and satisfied, I showed you this luminous, omnipresent, infinite, the very first and foremost, superior cosmic form of mine, by virute of Union of Soul of yours. This, I have not shown to anybody else in the past.
(Comment: Krishna showed this cosmic form earlier to Bhishma and Dhrutaraash`ra in Kaurava Court, at the time of delivering message as emissary for Paamd`avas. Krishn`a might have forgotten.)
(COSMIC VISION 47).
Oh, the Great among the Kurus! In this human world it is not possible for anybody to see this cosmic form of mine in spite of studying Vedas, performing sacrifices, bestowing charities, maintaining and worshipping sacred fires, performing most intense penance. You alone were able to see.
(Comment: Bhishma and Drona saw it earlier)
(COSMIC VISION 48).
On seeing this terrible form of mine, do not get frightened. Do not get mentally perturbed. Having restored yourself to your poise, please again see my four armed form. (COSMIC VISION 49).
(Samjaya's continues his narration to Dhrutaraash`tra).
Having said thus,the Great Soul Vaasudeeva (Krishna) showed his four armed form. Thereafter, he reverted back to his two hands form and consoled the bewildered Arjuna. (COSMIC VISION 50).
