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.


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna continues stating that if Arjuna is disturbed from  seeing  the
terrifying and frightening aspect of the visvarupa or divine universal  form
then with a peaceful, contented heart  and  cheerful  mind  free  from  fear
behold His familiar four armed form again.

Lord Krishna consoles Arjuna telling him that he should let go of any

while witnessing His visvarupa or divine universal form in all its
terrifying splendour, for now Lord Krishna will reveal His four-armed four
which Arjuna was in the habit of seeing.
