Arjuna Pleads for the Vision of Gentle Form - 45-46
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 46

| MahaVishnu lifting the Mandara Parvatam |
Kiritinam gadinam chakra hastam icchami tvam drushtum aham tatha eva I
Tene eva rupena chatur bhujena sahasra baho vishwa murthe II sloka 46
किरीटिनं गदिनं चक्र हस्तं इच्छामि त्वाम दृष्टुम अहम् तथा ईवा I
तेने एव रूपेण चतुर भुजेन सहस्र बाहों विश्व मूर्ते II स्लोक ४६
I desire to see you as before, crowned, bearing a mace and a discus in one hand, in your former form only, having four arms, O thousand armed, O universal Form.
It is mentioned in the Bhagavatha Purana that Sri Krishna had on a few occasions revealed himself as the four armed Vishnu to some of his devotees. Even with two arms, He was ever manifesting superhuman and divine powers.Arjuna now says that this human form would be quite sufficient and highly desirable for their normal relationship.
The Lord accordingly resumes His benign form and consoles his disturbed companion.
