Translation

Guddommens Højeste Personlighed sagde: Min kære Arjuna, med glæde har Jeg gennem Min indre kraft vist dig denne suveræne universelle form i den materielle verden. Ingen før dig har nogensinde set denne oprindelige form, ubegrænset og fuld af blændende stråleglans som den er.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, happily have I shown you, by My internal potency, this supreme universal form within the material world. No one before you has ever seen this primal form, unlimited and full of glaring effulgence.

Purport

FORKLARING: Da Arjuna gerne ville se den Højeste Herres universelle form, viste Herren Kṛṣṇa på grund af Sin barmhjertighed mod Sin hengivne ham den universelle form, der er fuld af stråleglans og overdådighed. Denne form var blændende som Solen, og dens mange ansigter forandrede sig i ét væk. Kṛṣṇa viste denne form udelukkende for at efterkomme Sin ven Arjunas ønske. Kṛṣṇa manifesterede denne form gennem Sin indre kraft, der er ufattelig for menneskelig spekulation. Ingen før Arjuna havde set denne Herrens universelle form, men fordi formen blev vist for Arjuna, kunne andre hengivne på de himmelske planeter og på andre planeter i det ydre rum også se den. De havde ikke set den før, men takket være Arjuna kunne de nu se den. Alle Herrens hengivne i discipelrækken kunne med andre ord se den universelle form, der ved Kṛṣṇas nåde blev vist for Arjuna. Nogle har kommenteret, at Kṛṣṇa også viste denne form for Duryodhana, da Kṛṣṇa besøgte Duryodhana for at forhandle om fred. Duryodhana tog desværre ikke imod fredstilbuddet, men ved den lejlighed manifesterede Kṛṣṇa nogle af Sine universelle former. Disse former er dog ikke de samme som den, der blev vist for Arjuna. Her står der klart og tydeligt, at ingen nogensinde før havde set denne form.

Arjuna wanted to see the universal form of the Supreme Lord, so Lord Kṛṣṇa, out of His mercy upon His devotee Arjuna, showed His universal form, full of effulgence and opulence. This form was glaring like the sun, and its many faces were rapidly changing. Kṛṣṇa showed this form just to satisfy the desire of His friend Arjuna. This form was manifested by Kṛṣṇa through His internal potency, which is inconceivable by human speculation. No one had seen this universal form of the Lord before Arjuna, but because the form was shown to Arjuna, other devotees in the heavenly planets and in other planets in outer space could also see it. They had not seen it before, but because of Arjuna they were also able to see it. In other words, all the disciplic devotees of the Lord could see the universal form which was shown to Arjuna by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. Someone has commented that this form was shown to Duryodhana also when Kṛṣṇa went to Duryodhana to negotiate for peace. Unfortunately, Duryodhana did not accept the peace offer, but at that time Kṛṣṇa manifested some of His universal forms. But those forms are different from this one shown to Arjuna. It is clearly said that no one had ever seen this form before.
