Chapter-11 Viśvarūpa Darśana Yogaḥ

na veda yajñādhyayanair na dānair na ca kriyābhir-na tapobhir-ugraiḥ | evaṃ rūpaḥ śakya ahaṃ nṛloke draṣṭuṃ tvadanyena kuru-pravīra || 48 || 48. Neither through the study of the Vedas, nor by sacrifices, nor by recital of the Scriptures, nor by charity, nor by rituals, nor by strict austerities can I be realised in a manifestation like this in this mortal world by any one else but you, O Arjuna! Commentary “In this form, which represents Me as I really am, I cannot be realised by such means as the study of the Vedas, sacrifices etc., by anyone who is devoid of exclusive Bhakti towards Me or by any one other than yourself who are fully devoted to Me.”
