Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Thus being consoled by Lord Krishna and free from agitation and fear, Arjuna states that he has recovered from his despair and is once again self- composed, serene and clear.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Madhvacarya
Madhvacarya's Commentary

Since the Supreme Lord Krishna had exhibited His original two-armed form it is said that He has taken a human form but it should be understood that the form of the Supreme Lord Krishna has a purely spiritual body which is completely transcendental to material nature being saccidannanda meaning sat or eternal existence, cit or unlimited consciousness and ananda or endless bliss.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Ramanuja
Ramanuja's Commentary

After gazing again on Lord Krishna in human vestige looking extraordinarily phenomenal with four-arms and then again as a countenance of beauty with two arms lovely to envision with tenderness, grace, majesty and naturalness all sublimely expressing themselves ensemble and marvellous to behold. Seeing Lord Krishna's human form so enchanting and delightful Arjuna's mind was restored to its natural tranquillity and he became placated.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Being comforted and consoled by Lord Krishna in such a compassionate manner and beholding Him now in His charming human form with unprecedented attributes such as unlimited beauty, strength, compassion, omniscience etc. Arjuna was no longer agitated and was able to compose himself and restore his mind to its normal peaceful equilibrium.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 11, verse 51 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
