Arjuna uvāca
अर्जुन उवाच |
दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन |
इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः प्रकृतिं गतः ||
दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन |
इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः प्रकृतिं गतः ||
arjuna uvāca |
dṛṣṭvedam mānuṣaṃ rūpaṃ tava saumyaṃ janārdana |
idānīm asmi saṃvṛttaḥ sa-cetāḥ prakṛtiṃ gataḥ ||
dṛṣṭvedam mānuṣaṃ rūpaṃ tava saumyaṃ janārdana |
idānīm asmi saṃvṛttaḥ sa-cetāḥ prakṛtiṃ gataḥ ||
Arjuna said: Seeing this, Your gentle human form, O Janārdana, I have now become composed, and my mind has returned to its normal state.
Relief in a single breath. Arjuna's return to composure is not a retreat from what he saw but a landing back in the world where he can think and act. The vision has done its work; now the human conversation can resume.
