ହେ ବିଶ୍ୱେଶ୍ୱର, ହେ ବିଶ୍ୱରୂପ, ଅନେକ ବାହୁ, ଉଦର, ମୁଖ ଓ ନେତ୍ର ସହିତ, ସବୁ ଆଡ଼େ ଅସୀମ ରୂପରେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ମୁଁ ଦର୍ଶନ କରୁଛି; ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଅନ୍ତ, ମଧ୍ୟ କିମ୍ବା ଆଦି ମୁଁ ଦେଖିପାରୁ ନାହିଁ।
A thing that is limited by space and time has a begining, a middle and an end, but the Lord is omnipresent and eternal. He exists in the three periods of time -- past, present and future, but is not limited by time and space. Therefore He has neither a beginning nor middle nor end. Arjuna could have this divine vision only with the help of the divine eye bestowed upon him by the Lord. He who has supreme devotion to the Lord and on whom the Lord showers His grace can enjoy this wondrous vision.
