।।11.52।।श्रीभगवान् बोले -- मेरा यह जो रूप तुमने देखा है? इसके दर्शन अत्यन्त ही दुर्लभ हैं। इस रूपको देखनेके लिये देवता भी नित्य लालायित रहते हैं।


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
11.52 Idam, this; rupam, form; mama, of Mine; yat, which; drstavan, asi, you have seen is; sudur-darsam, very difficult to see. Api, even; the devah, gods; are nityam, ever; darsana-kanksinah, desirous of a vision; asya, of this; rupasya, form of Mine. The idea is that though they want to see, they have not seen in the way you have, nor will they see!
Why so?


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
11.52 Sri Abhinavagupta did not comment upon this sloka.


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
11.52 The Lord said  This form of Mine which you have seen, and which has the whole universe under control, which is the foundation of all and which forms the origin of all - this cannot be beheld by any one. Even the gods ever long to see this form; but they have not seen it.

Why?  Sri Krsna says:

Devaa apyasya roopasya nityam darshanakaangkshinah.
