Translation:
There, in the person of the God of gods, Arjuna beheld the whole universe, with its manifold divisions, all gathered together in one.
Commentary:
The universe appeared to Arjuna as one of the limbs in the body of the God of Gods. In the infinite Cosmic intelligence (consciousness) of the Lord, the world rests in some small nook or corner as a limb, a finger tip or a toe-in the human body.
Pravibhaktam: The universe is differentiated into various groups of objects. But there is no such differentiation in Paramātmā who is one.
