Chapter XI · Śloka 13
तत्रैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं प्रविभक्तमनेकधा ।
अपश्यद्देवदेवस्य शरीरे पाण्डवस्तदा ॥
अपश्यद्देवदेवस्य शरीरे पाण्डवस्तदा ॥
tatraika-sthaṁ jagat kṛtsnaṁ pravibhaktam anekadhā ।
apaśyad deva-devasya śarīre pāṇḍavas tadā ॥
apaśyad deva-devasya śarīre pāṇḍavas tadā ॥
There, in the body of the God of gods, the son of Pāṇḍu then beheld the entire universe established as one, yet diversified in many ways.
The vision resolves the apparent contradiction between unity and diversity: multiplicity is real, yet all multiplicity is grounded in and inseparable from the one divine body. Arjuna witnesses the metaphysics of advaita enacted visually.
