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