Explanation
That form had many mouths and eyes, many wondrous sights, many divine ornaments and many divine weapons held aloft. Sanjaya begins describing the cosmic form, piling up images of countless faces, eyes and weapons. Every detail suggests a power and splendour beyond human measure.
This verse and the next form one long description built of compounds, a typical style of Sanskrit epic. The repeated 'aneka' (many) stresses that the form is beyond counting. Commentators explain the many mouths and eyes as the Lord acting and seeing through all beings, an idea found in the Purusha Sukta's thousand-headed, thousand-eyed Person. The raised weapons already hint at the fierce side of the vision that will appear from verse 23.
भावार्थ
उस रूप में अनेक मुख और नेत्र थे, अनेक अद्भुत दृश्य थे, वह अनेक दिव्य आभूषणों से सजा था और उसने अनेक दिव्य शस्त्र उठा रखे थे। वह रूप हर प्रकार से गणना से परे था।
