Translation

Arjuna saw in that universal form unlimited mouths, unlimited eyes, unlimited wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.

Arjuna sah in der universalen Form unzählige Münder, unzählige Augen und unbegrenzte wundervolle Erscheinungen. Die Form war mit vielen himmlischen Schmuckstücken verziert und trug viele göttliche erhobene Waffen. Sie trug himmlische Girlanden und Gewänder, und ihr Körper war mit vielen göttlichen Duftstoffen eingerieben. Alles war wunderbar, strahlend, unendlich und alldurchdringend.

Purport

In these two verses the repeated use of the word many indicates that there was no limit to the number of hands, mouths, legs and other manifestations Arjuna was seeing. These manifestations were distributed throughout the universe, but by the grace of the Lord, Arjuna could see them while sitting in one place. That was due to the inconceivable potency of Kṛṣṇa.

ERLÄUTERUNG: Der wiederholte Gebrauch des Wortes „viele“ in diesen beiden Versen deutet darauf hin, daß die Anzahl der Hände, Münder, Beine und anderen Manifestationen, die Arjuna sah, unbegrenzt war. Diese Manifestationen waren über das ganze Universum verbreitet, doch durch die Gnade des Herrn konnte Arjuna sie alle von einem Ort aus sehen. Dies war allein auf die unbegreifliche Kraft des Herrn zurückzuführen.
