Chapter 11
dyavaprthivyoridamantaratir hi vyaptam tvayaikena disasca sarvan
drstvadbhutam rupamugram tavedam Iokatrayam pravyathitam mahatman
The space between the heaven and earth and all the spheres is pervaded by you, alone. Seeing this marvellous and frightening form of Yours, 0 Great-Soul, the three worlds feel greatly alarmed. 20
Comment:-
Mahatman:- By this address, Arjuna means to say, that His self is the greatest of all. None can equal it.
Dyavaprthivyoridamantaram hi vyaptam tvayaikena disadca sarvan:- The entire space, between heaven and earth, is filled, with the Lord. The Lord is all-pervading, He pervades all the ten quarters - east, west, north, south, east-north, north-west,west-south, south-east, upward and downward.
Drntvadbhutam rupamugram lavedam lokatrayam peavyathitam:- [Arjuna having described the frightening form of the Lord, in the nineteenth verse and in the first half of the twentieth verse, now starts describing the result of beholding this form.] Seeing, a dreadful, uncommon, marvellous and resplendent form, of the Lord, all the beings inhabiting the heaven, the earth and the netherworld, are greatly alarmed and are trembling with fear.
Though Arjuna has mentioned of the heaven and the earth, yet he has used the expression, 'the three worlds,' which may include the netherworld, also. The reason, is that Arjuna did not behold these systematically one after the other. He saw the heaven, the earth and the netherworld etc., altogether and so he is describing these in the same manner, in which he beheld.
