अर्जुन ने कहा- -
यह सौम्य नर- तन देख भगवन्! मन ठिकाने आ गया ।
जिस भाँति पहले था वही अपनी अवस्था पा गया ॥ ११ । ५१ ॥
- Arjuna said: Having seen this Thy gentle human Form, O Janârdana, my thoughts are now composed and I am restored to my nature. (Ⅰ)
- 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. (Ⅲ)

O Janardana, drstva, having seen; idam, this; saumyam, serene; manusam, human; rupam, form; tava, of Yours-gracious, as of my friend; asmi, I have; idanim, now; samvrttah, become;-what?- sacetah, calm in mind; and gatah, restored; prakrtim, to my own nature. (Ⅳ)
11. 52  
श्रीभगवान् ने कहा - -
हे पार्थ! दुर्लभ रूप यह जिसके अभी दर्शन किये ।
सुर भी तरसते हैं इसी की लालसा मन में लिये ॥ ११ । ५२ ॥
- The Blessed Lord said: Very hard indeed it is to see this Form of Mine which thou hast seen. Even the Devas ever long to behold this Form. (Ⅰ)
- The Blessed Lord said -- This form of Mine which you have seen is very difficult to see; even the gods are ever desirous of a vision of this form. (Ⅲ)
- Sri Sankaracharya's commentary (english) :

Idam, this; rupam, form; mama, of Mine; yat, which; drstavan, asi, you have seen is; sudur- darsam, very difficult to see. Api, even; the devah, gods; are nityam, ever; darsana-kanksinah, desirous of a vision; asya, of this; rupasya, form of Mine. The idea is that though they want to see, they have not seen in the way you have, nor will they see! Why so? (Ⅳ)
11. 53  
दिखता न मैं तप, दान अथवा यज्ञ, वेदों से कहीं ।
देखा जिसे तूने उसे नर देख पाते हैं नहीं ॥ ११ । ५३ ॥
- Neither by the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by gifts, nor by sacrifice can I be seen as thou hast seen Me. (Ⅰ)
- Not through the Vedas, not by austerity, not by gifts, nor even by sacrifice can I be seen in this form as you have seen Me. (Ⅲ)
- Sri Sankaracharya's commentary (english) :

Na vedaih, not through the Vedas, not even through the four Vedas-Rk, Yajus, Sama and Atharvan; na tapasa, not by austerity, not by severe austerities like the Candrayana; not danena, by gifts, by gifts of cattle, land, gold, etc.; na ca, nor even; ijyaya, by sacrifices or worship; sakyah aham, can I; drastum, be seen evamvidhah, in this form, in the manner as was shown; yatha, as; drstavan asi, you have seen mam, Me. 'How again, can You be seen? This is being answered: (Ⅳ)
11. 54  
हे पार्थ! एक अनन्य मेरी भक्ति से सम्भव सभी ।
यह ज्ञान, दर्शन, और मुझमें तत्त्व जान प्रवेश भी ॥ ११ । ५४ ॥
- But by the single-minded devotion I may in this Form, be known, O Arjuna, and seen in reality, and also entered into, O scorcher of foes. 54 (Ⅰ)
- But, O Arjuna, by single-minded devotion am I-in this form-able to be known and seen in reality, and also be entered into, O destroyer of foes. (Ⅲ)
- Sri Sankaracharya's commentary (english) :

Tu, but, O Arjuna; bhaktya, by devotion-. Of what kind? To this the Lord says: Ananyaya, by (that devotion which is ) single-minded. That is called single-minded devotion which does not turn to anything else other than the Lord, and owing to which nothing else but Vasudeva is perceived by all the organs. With that devotion, aham sakyah, am I able; evamvidhah, in this form-in the aspect of the Cosmic form; jnatum, to known-from the scriptures; not merely to be known from the scriptures, but also drastum, to be seen , to be realized directly; tattvena, in reality; and also pravestum, to be entered into-for attaining Liberation; parantapa, O destroyer of foes. Now the essential purport of the whole scripture, the Gita, which is meant for Liberation, is being stated by summing it up so that it may be practiced: (Ⅳ)
11. 55  
मेरे लिये जो कर्म- तत्पर, नित्य मत्पर, भक्त है ।
पाता मुझे वह जो सभी से वैर हीन विरक्त है ॥ ११ । ५५ ॥
- He who does work for Me alone and has Me for his goal, is devoted to Me, is freed from attachment, and bears enmity towards no creature—he entereth into Me, O Pândava. 55 (Ⅰ)
- O son of Pandu, he who works for Me, accepts Me as the supreme Goal, is devoted to Me, is devoid of attachment and free from enmity towards all beings-he attains Me. (Ⅲ)
- Sri Sankaracharya's commentary (english) :

Pandava, O son of Pandu; yah, he who; mat- karma-krt, works for Me: work for Me is mat- karma; one who does it is mat-karma-krt-. Mat- paramah, who accepts Me as the supreme Goal: A servant does work for his master, but does not accept the master as his own supreme Goal to be attained after death; his one, however, who does work for Me, accepts Me alone as the supreme Goal. Thus he is matparamah-one to whom I am the supreme Goal-. So also he who is madbhaktah, devoted to me: He adores Me alone in all ways, with his whole being and full enthusiasm. Thus he is madbhaktah-. Sanga-varjitah, who is devoid of attachment for wealth, sons, friends, wife and relatives, Sanga means fondness, love; devoid of them-. Nirvairah, who is free from enmity; sarva- bhutesu, towards all beings-benefit of the idea of enmity even towards those engaged in doing upmost harm to him-. Sah, he who is such a devotee of Mine; eti, attains; mam, Me. I alone am his supreme Goal; he does not attain any other goal. This is the advice for you, given by Me as desired by you. (Ⅳ)
