SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
॥ श्रीभगवानुवाच ॥ सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम । देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः ।। ५२ ।। Lord said :
"This form of nine (cosmic form) is hard to see, for even the Heavenly gods ever long to see what you have just seen."52
नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया । शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ॥ ५३ ॥
"Neither by study of Vedas, by penances, by charity nor by rituals can I be seen in this form (Cosmic) as you have seen. " -53
भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन । ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप ॥ ५४ ॥
"By single-minded devotion, I can be "Known" and "Seen" and in reality can also be "entered" into, oh Parantapa!"-54
