Explanation
And as I remember again and again that most wonderful form of Hari, great is my amazement, O King, and I rejoice again and again. Sanjaya recalls not only the words of the dialogue but the vision of Krishna's universal form, which still fills him with wonder.
Sanjaya now recalls not only the words but the universal form (viśvarūpa) revealed in chapter 11, which he too was able to witness through Vyasa's gift. Shankara and Ramanuja take 'that form' as the cosmic form. The name Hari, the one who takes away sorrow, is apt at the close. Sanjaya's amazement and joy set the mood for the final verse (18.78), his declaration that where Krishna and Arjuna stand together, there will be victory and prosperity.
भावार्थ
हे राजन्, भगवान् श्रीहरि के उस अत्यन्त अद्भुत विराट् रूप को बार-बार स्मरण करके मेरे मन में बड़ा विस्मय होता है और मैं बार-बार हर्षित होता हूँ। वह दृश्य मुझे भूलता नहीं।
