Ch 11Verse 5
Adhyāya 11 Shloka 5

श्रीभगवानुवाच | पश्य मे पार्थ रूपाणि शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः | नानाविधानि दिव्यानि नानावर्णाकृतीनि च || ५ ||

śrī-bhagavān uvāca | paśya me pārtha rūpāṇi śataśo 'tha sahasraśaḥ | nānā-vidhāni divyāni nānā-varṇākṛtīni ca || 5 ||

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, O son of Pritha, see now My opulences, hundreds of thousands of varied divine and multicolored forms."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

The Supreme Lord immediately accepts Arjuna's humble request. He commands him: Behold and see (paśya), My dear Partha! See My innumerable forms (me rūpāṇi). Look upon them by the hundreds and then by the thousands (śataśo 'tha sahasraśaḥ). They are of countless different varieties (nānā-vidhāni), completely divine and transcendental in nature (divyāni), and they exhibit a limitless array of dazzling colors, shapes, and architectures (nānā-varṇākṛtīni ca).
