Commentary - Chakravarthi Ji

“O Supreme Lord, why do you not accept me? You are forcibly giving me something which I do not want. Seeing this form of yours, my limbs are distressed, my mind is pained. Constantly, I am fainting. Let me offer my respects again and again to that majestic form from far away. I will never again pray to see that form. Forgive me, forgive me. Show to me that human form with moon-like face, covered in showers of nectar through the sweetest smiles. Please show that to me.” The Lord speaks in this verse in a comforting mood to Arjuna who is distressed in the above manner.
