Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 11 - The Universal Form >> << 11 - A Forma Universal >> << VERSE 51 — VERSO 51 >> अर्जुन उवाच दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन इदानीम अस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः परकृतिं गतः arjuna uvāca dṛṣṭvedaṁ mānuṣaṁ rūpaṁ tava saumyaṁ janārdana idānīm asmi saṁvṛttaḥ sa-cetāḥ prakṛtiṁ gataḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA arjunaḥ uvāca Arjuna said dṛṣṭvā seeing idam this mānuṣam human rūpam form tava Your saumyam very beautiful janārdana O chastiser of the enemies idānīm now asmi I am saṁvṛttaḥ settled sa-cetāḥ in my consciousness prakṛtim to my own nature gataḥ returned TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO 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. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO 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. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
