Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus to Arjuna, Vasudeva showed him once again His own form. The great soul assumed His gentle form and pacified the frightened Arjuna.

  • God responds immediately to the devotee's need for comfort
  • The gentle two-armed form is most dear and accessible
  • Love between God and devotee is tender, not only majestic
