11.10 - 11.11 Divyam means resplendent. Anantam (boundless) means that form is not limited by time and space because of its being the foundation of the entire universe in the past, present and future. Visvatomukham means facing in all directions. This form is adorned with divine raiments, perfumes, garlands, ornaments and weapons appropriate to it. He explains the same resplendence expressed by the term Divyam:
Of what unique nature was Lord Krishnas visvrupa or divine universal form? This is what is being stated. This form possessed unlimited faces, eyes and wonders to behold along with dazzling celestial ornaments and gleaming weapons. This universal form was resplendent, self effulgent, infinite and all pervading, wearing divine ornaments and apparel, decorated with heavenly flower garlands and fragrant unguents all exquisitely scented. In every direction extensive wonders, marvels and miracles abounded unlimitedly.
The words sarvascarya-mayam meaning unlimited and amazing wonders denotes that Lord Krishnas visvarupa or divine universal form contained innumerable wondrous and marvellous forms of His.
Sanjaya who could visually see everything that transpired on the battlefield by the grace of Vedavyasa, uses the word divya meaning divine, to show the resplendent and celestial quality of everything associated with the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word anantam means unlimited denoting that the visvarupa or divine universal form is the refuge for all creation from the past, in the present and into the future and not subject to time and space. The words visvato-mukham means many faces in every direction. So the visvarupa is exhibited with the appropriate divine weapons, divine ornaments and divine apparel.
