Immeasurable - unlimited forms

Arjuna requests to see it. Why ?

Aspects of Universal form :

To convince others of Krishna's position
- not just theoretical or philosophical, but
realised

Can see past, present and
future
- Arjuna could see
outcome of battle

To set criteria for future claimed incarnations

(11.3 purp.)

Effulgent - compared to
thousands of suns

Everything in the universe in
one place
- all demigods
- all moving and and non-
moving beings

Kala-rupa (time)
destroyer of all worlds and
people
(rivers flowing into ocean /
moths entering fire)

(11.15-30 )
