11.51 दृष्ट्वा having seen? इदम् this? मानुषम् human? रूपम् form? तव Thy? सौम्यम् gentle? जनार्दन O Krishna? इदानीम् now? अस्मि (I) am? संवृत्तः composed? सचेताः with mind? प्रकृतिम् to nature? गतः restored.Commentary Arjuna says to Lord Krishna O Lord? I now behold Thy human form. Now my thoughts are collected and I am serene. I can speak. My senses perform their proper functions. My fear has vanished. Thou hast treated me as a mother would treat her erring child whom she embraces and nurses. Just as the calf rejoices when it beholds its mother who was missing for some days? so also I rejoice now when I behold Thy gentle form. I have drunk the nectar. Now I am alive.

11.51 Drstva etc. At the end of the act of withdrawing all, the Brahman assumes the highly tranil stage of the tattva. Hence at the stage of withdrawl, gentleness is in the Bhagavat.
Swami Chinmayānanda · Chinmaya Mission · modern Vedantic teaching
।।11.51।। देशकालातीत वस्तु को ग्रहण तथा अनुभव करने के लिए आवश्यक पूर्व तैयारी के अभाव के कारण अकस्मात् समष्टि के इतने विशाल विराट् रूप को देखकर स्वाभाविक है कि अर्जुन भय और मोह से ग्रस्त हो गया था। परन्तु यहाँ वह स्वीकार करता है कि भगवान् के शान्त? सौम्य मनुष्य रूप को देखकर वह शान्तचित्त होकर अपने स्वभाव को प्राप्त हो गया है।अब भगवान् स्वयं ही ईश्वर की भक्ति का वर्णन अगले श्लोक में करते हैं।

।।11.51।। व्याख्या--'दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तव सौम्यं जनार्दन'--आपके मनुष्यरूपमें प्रकट होकर लीला करनेवाले रूपको देखकर गायें, पशु-पक्षी, वृक्ष, लताएँ आदि भी पुलकित हो जाती हैं (टिप्पणी प0 613), ऐसे सौम्य द्विभुजरूपको देखकर मैं होशमें आ गया हूँ, मेरा चित्त स्थिर हो गया है--'इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः' 'सचेताः', विराट्रूपको देखकर जो मैं भयभीत हो गया था, वह सब भय अब मिट गया है, सब व्यथा चली गयी है और मैं अपनी वास्तविक स्थितिको प्राप्त हो गया हूँ -- 'प्रकृतिं गतः।' यहाँ सचेताः कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि जब अर्जुनकी दृष्टि भगवान्की कृपाकी तरफ गयी, तब अर्जुनको होश आया और वे सोचने लगे कि कहाँ तो मैं और कहाँ भगवान्का विस्मयकारक विलक्षण विराट्रूप ! इसमें मेरी कोई योग्यता, अधिकारिता नहीं है। इसमें तो केवल भगवान्की कृपा-ही-कृपा है। सम्बन्ध--अर्जुनकी कृतज्ञताका अनुमोदन करते हुए भगवान् कहते हैं --
