11.51 Arjuna said O Janardana, having seen this serene human form of Yours, I have now become calm in mind and restored to my own nature.

11.51 Arjuna said Having behold the human and pleasing form of Yours, O Krsna, I have now become composed in mind and I am restored to my normal nature.

।।11.51।। अर्जुन बोले -- हे जनार्दन ! आपके इस सौम्य मनुष्यरूपको देखकर मैं इस समय स्थिरचित्त हो गया हूँ और अपनी स्वाभाविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हो गया हूँ।

।।11.51।। व्याख्या--'दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन'--आपके मनुष्यरूपमें प्रकट होकर लीला करनेवाले रूपको देखकर गायें, पशु-पक्षी, वृक्ष, लताएँ आदि भी पुलकित हो जाती हैं (टिप्पणी प0 613), ऐसे सौम्य द्विभुजरूपको देखकर मैं होशमें आ गया हूँ, मेरा चित्त स्थिर हो गया है--'इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः' 'सचेताः', विराट्रूपको देखकर जो मैं भयभीत हो गया था, वह सब भय अब मिट गया है, सब व्यथा चली गयी है और मैं अपनी वास्तविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हो गया हूँ -- 'प्रकृतिं गतः।' यहाँ सचेताः कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि जब अर्जुनकी दृष्टि भगवान्की कृपाकी तरफ गयी, तब अर्जुनको होश आया और वे सोचने लगे कि कहाँ तो मैं और कहाँ भगवान्का विस्मयकारक विलक्षण विराट्रूप ! इसमें मेरी कोई योग्यता, अधिकारिता नहीं है। इसमें तो केवल भगवान्की कृपा-ही-कृपा है।  सम्बन्ध--अर्जुनकी कृतज्ञताका अनुमोदन करते हुए भगवान् कहते हैं --

When Arjuna thus saw Kṛṣṇa in His original form, he said: O Janārdana, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature.

Here the words mānuṣaṁ rūpam clearly indicate the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be originally two-handed. Those who deride Kṛṣṇa as if He were an ordinary person are shown here to be ignorant of His divine nature. If Kṛṣṇa is like an ordinary human being, then how is it possible for Him to show the universal form and again to show the four-handed Nārāyaṇa form? So it is very clearly stated in Bhagavad-gītā that one who thinks that Kṛṣṇa is an ordinary person and who misguides the reader by claiming that it is the impersonal Brahman within Kṛṣṇa speaking is doing the greatest injustice. Kṛṣṇa has actually shown His universal form and His four-handed Viṣṇu form. So how can He be an ordinary human being? A pure devotee is not confused by misguiding commentaries on Bhagavad-gītā because he knows what is what. The original verses of Bhagavad-gītā are as clear as the sun; they do not require lamplight from foolish commentators.
