Verse 35

The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form

Sanjaya said to Dhritarashtra: O King, after hearing these words from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the trembling Arjuna offered obeisances with folded hands again and again. He spoke to Krishna in a faltering voice, overwhelmed with fear.

Context & Meaning

Sanjaya's narration captures the physical reality: Arjuna is trembling, overwhelmed, faltering. He bows again and again. His voice breaks. This is not weakness — this is the authentic response of a human being face to face with the totality. Emotional devastation before the Absolute is the appropriate reaction. Arjuna is completely broken open.
