Translation:
Sanjaya said: Having thus addressed Arjuna, Vāsudeva revealed to him His own form. The Great One assumed a graceful shape again and comforted the terrified Pāndava.
Commentary:
It is twice said here that the Lord showed His gracious form – the first may be the four-armed form of Vishnu, and the second may be the human form of Krishna, the Charioteer.
