TRANSLATION When Arjuna
thus saw Krsna in His original form, he said: Seeing this humanlike form,
so very beautiful, my mind is now pacified and I am restored to my original
nature.
PURPORT Here the words
manusam rupam clearly indicate the Supreme Personality of Godhead
to be originally two-handed. Those who deride Krsna to be an ordinary person
are shown here to be ignorant of His divine nature. If Krsna 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 Narayana form? So it is very clearly
stated in Bhagavad-gita that one who thinks that Krsna is an ordinary
person and misguides the reader by claiming that it is the impersonal Brahman
within Krsna speaking, is doing the greatest injustice. Krsna has actually
shown His universal form and His four-handed Visnu form. So how can He
be an ordinary human being? A pure devotee is not confused by misguiding
commentaries on Bhagavad-gita because he knows what is what. The
original verses of Bhagavad-gita are as clear as the sun; they do
not require lamplight from foolish commentators.
