Translation

When Arjuna thus saw Kṛṣṇa in His original form, he said: O Janārdana, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature.

Da Arjuna så Kṛṣṇa i Dennes oprindelige skikkelse, udbrød han: O Janārdana, ved synet af Din utroligt smukke menneskelignende form får jeg atter ro i sindet og bliver mig selv på ny.

Purport

Here the words mānuṣaṁ rūpam clearly indicate the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be originally two-handed. Those who deride Kṛṣṇa as if He were an ordinary person are shown here to be ignorant of His divine nature. If Kṛṣṇa is like an ordinary human being, then how is it possible for Him to show the universal form and again to show the four-handed Nārāyaṇa form? So it is very clearly stated in Bhagavad-gītā that one who thinks that Kṛṣṇa is an ordinary person and who misguides the reader by claiming that it is the impersonal Brahman within Kṛṣṇa speaking is doing the greatest injustice. Kṛṣṇa has actually shown His universal form and His four-handed Viṣṇu form. So how can He be an ordinary human being? A pure devotee is not confused by misguiding commentaries on Bhagavad-gītā because he knows what is what. The original verses of Bhagavad-gītā are as clear as the sun; they do not require lamplight from foolish commentators.

FORKLARING: Her angiver ordene mānuṣaṁ rūpam klart og tydeligt, at Guddommens Højeste Personlighed oprindeligt er toarmet. De, der håner Kṛṣṇa for at være et almindeligt menneske, vises her at være uvidende om Hans guddommelige natur. Hvis Kṛṣṇa er som et almindeligt menneske, hvordan kan Han da fremvise den universelle form for derefter at fremstå i Sin firarmede Nārāyaṇa-form? Bhagavad-gītā er meget klar her, at den, der anser Kṛṣṇa for at være en almindelig person, og som vildleder læseren ved at hævde, at det er den upersonlige Brahman, der taler inden i Kṛṣṇa, begår den største uret. Kṛṣṇa har rent faktisk vist både Sin universelle form og Sin firarmede Viṣṇu-form. Hvordan kan Han da være et almindeligt menneske? En ren hengiven lader sig ikke forvirre af sådanne vildledende Bhagavad-gītā-kommentarer, for han ved, hvad der er hvad. Bhagavad-gītās oprindelige vers er soleklare. De behøver ikke kunstig belysning fra tåbelige kommentatorer.
