Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya: Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Of what unique nature was Lord Krishna's visvrupa or divine universal form?
This is what is being stated. This form possessed unlimited faces, eyes and
wonders to behold along with dazzling celestial ornaments and gleaming
weapons. This universal form was resplendent, self effulgent, infinite and
all pervading, wearing divine ornaments and apparel, decorated with
heavenly flower garlands and fragrant unguents all exquisitely scented. In
every direction extensive wonders, marvels and miracles abounded
unlimitedly.

| Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya: Madhvacarya |
Madhvacarya's Commentary
The words sarvascarya-mayam meaning unlimited and amazing wonders denotes
that Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form contained
innumerable wondrous and marvellous forms of His.
|
| Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya: Ramanuja |
Ramanuja's Commentary
Sanjaya who could visually see everything that transpired on the
battlefield by the grace of Vedavyasa, uses the word divya meaning divine,
to show the resplendent and celestial quality of everything associated with
the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word anantam means unlimited denoting that
the visvarupa or divine universal form is the refuge for all creation from
the past, in the present and into the future and not subject to time and
space. The words visvato-mukham means many faces in every direction. So the
visvarupa is exhibited with the appropriate divine weapons, divine
ornaments and divine apparel.

| Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya: Nimbaditya |
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
Sanjaya elaborates upon the Supreme Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine,
universal form with the word anatam meaning unlimited refers to unlimited
eyes, unlimited mouths, unlimited faces and unlimited wonders, unlimited
ornaments, unlimited weapons and unlimited marvels. All are devoid of the
threefold limits of time, space and form and are transcendental, self-
effulgent and infinite.
