The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, being pleased with you I have shown you, by My internal potency, this supreme universal form within the material world. No one before you has ever seen this primeval form, unlimited and full of glowing effulgence.

Krishna clarifies the nature of the gift: this was done out of pleasure, not obligation — prasannena, out of delight in Arjuna. The cosmic vision was not a spectacle but an act of love. And it was unique — no one has seen this form before. Arjuna is the one human being in all of history to receive this complete darśan of the viśvarūpa.
