Chapter 11: Universal Formविश्वरूपदर्शनयोग
11:31
“Tell me who You are, O fierce-formed one. Salutations to You, O supreme Lord. Be gracious. I wish to know You, the primeval one, for I do not understand Your ways.”
Sanskrit
आख्याहि मे को भवानुग्ररूपो नमोऽस्तु ते देववर प्रसीद | विज्ञातुमिच्छामि भवन्तमाद्यं न हि प्रजानामि तव प्रवृत्तिम् ||

ākhyāhi me ko bhavān ugra-rūpo namo 'stu te deva-vara prasīda vijñātum icchāmi bhavantam ādyaṁ na hi prajānāmi tava pravṛttim
Commentary
Overwhelmed, Arjuna asks who this terrible form is. He bows in reverence, seeking mercy. He wants to understand the original Lord and His mysterious purpose.
