नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया | शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा
nāhaṃ vedairna tapasā na dānena na cejyayā . śakya evaṃvidho draṣṭuṃ dṛṣṭavānasi māṃ yathā
Je ne peux être vu sous cette forme, telle que tu M'as contemplé, ni par les Védas, ni par l'austérité, ni par les dons, ni même par le sacrifice.
Not through the Vedas, not by austerity, not by gifts, nor even by sacrifice can I be seen in this form as you have seen Me.
Krishna réaffirme que la vision de Sa Forme Cosmique ne peut être acquise par les pratiques religieuses ou ascétiques conventionnelles, soulignant ainsi la nature unique de l'expérience d'Arjuna.
This Cosmic Form which thou hast seen so easily cannot be obtained either by the study of the Vedas and the six modes of philosophy? nor by the practice of manifold austerities (penances)? nor by charity? nor by sacrifices of various kinds.Arjuna was indeed very fortunate in seeing the Cosmic Form.How can the Lord be seen Listen The heart must be overflowing with true devotion to Him. (Cf.XI.48)
