भगवद्गीता के ग्यारहवें अध्याय में अर्जुन श्रीक़ृष्ण से कहते हैं –
हे विष्णु! आपके इस आकाश को स्पर्श करते हुए, दैदीप्यमान अनेक रूपों को (वर्णों को); विस्तरित मुख को और प्रकाशमान विशाल नेत्रों को, देखकर मेरा अन्तःकरण भयभीत हो रहा है| मुझे धैर्य भी नहीं मिल रहा है और शान्ति भी नहीं प्राप्त हो रही है।
In Bhagavad Gita’s Chapter 11, Arjuna says to Krishna:
O Vishnu, the innermost recesses of my mind are trembling with fear on beholding your majestic form (vishwarupa) which is touching the heaven, is shining in multi-coloured hues, is open-mouthed and has large resplendent eyes. I can find neither peace nor support.
This shloka is also important because the motto of the Indian Air Force – नभःस्पृशं-दीप्तम् is extracted from this beautiful and powerful couplet.
Bhagavad Gita 11.24| भगवद्गीता ११. २४
