Meaning

“The Blessed Lord said: Behold, O Partha, My forms by the hundreds and thousands, divine, of many kinds, of many colours and shapes. Behold the Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Ashvins, the Maruts; behold many wonders never seen before, O Bharata. Behold today the whole universe, moving and unmoving, standing as one in My body, O Gudakesha, and whatever else you desire to see. But you cannot see Me with this eye of yours; I give you the divine eye: behold My sovereign yoga.”
