TRANSLATION
O King, when
I remember the wonderful form of Lord Krsna, I am struck with even greater
wonder, and I rejoice again and again.
PURPORT
It appears that
Sanjaya also, by the grace of Vyasa, could see the universal form Krsna
exhibited to Arjuna. It is, of course, said that Lord Krsna had never exhibited
such a form before. It was exhibited to Arjuna only, yet some great devotees
could also see the universal form of Krsna when it was shown to Arjuna,
and Vyasa was one of them. He is one of the great devotees of the Lord,
and he is considered to be a powerful incarnation of Krsna. Vyasa disclosed
this to his disciple Sanjaya, who remembered that wonderful form of Krsna
exhibited to Arjuna and enjoyed it repeatedly.
