Bhagavad Gita 11.9 एवमुक्त्वा ततो राजन्महायोगेश्वरो हरिः

Bhagavad Gita 11.9 — word by word

Explanation

Sanjaya said: having spoken thus, O King, Hari, the great lord of yoga, then showed Partha his supreme and sovereign form. The narration shifts to Sanjaya, who describes the vision to the blind Dhritarashtra. The great vision of the chapter now begins.

Sanjaya, who has received divine sight from Vyasa, now becomes the witness who reports the vision. His account in verses 9 to 14 gives the scene from outside, while Arjuna's own words from verse 15 give it from within. Commentators note the irony that Dhritarashtra, physically blind and unwilling to see the truth about his sons, is told of the greatest sight of all. The name Hari, 'the one who takes away', hints at the sorrow and confusion this vision will remove.

भावार्थ

संजय ने कहा — हे राजन्, ऐसा कहकर महायोगेश्वर श्रीहरि ने अर्जुन को अपना परम ऐश्वर्यमय रूप दिखाया। इस प्रकार संजय धृतराष्ट्र को उस अद्भुत दृश्य का वर्णन आरम्भ करते हैं।
